I've referenced this. Which appears a tad different from the others mentioned.

As the thread continues and additional posts come in with string gauges you’ll find that they can vary from one player to the next.
At the risk of stating the obvious, purchase a pre made set and get them onto your guitar. After a period of time you may develop your own preferences.
This set sold here on the forum is inexpensive and the strings are good quality:
