The basics:

Vipermagi (30)
Heart of the Oak (40) / Eschuta's Temper (40) / Wizardspike (50) / Suicide Branch (50)
Magefist's / Trang's claws (20)
Arachnid's Mesh (20)
Spirit (25-35... preferably 35)
circlet (20) / Griffon's Eye (25)

That leaves your amulets & rings able to provide the last bit of FCR. Usually folks create a crafted 'caster' amulet (capable of getting up to 20 FCR - the only amulet type capable of more than 10). Then rings as necessary to finish it off.

My own personal setup is usually with a Wizardspike (the amazing resists & mana make up for the lack of +skills, in my opinion). I also have a 20 FCR amulet available. Throw on Griffon's Eye and a perfect Spirit on top of everything else, and I don't need FCR on my rings at all.

The highest FCR possible is 220%, using the gear listed by sirpoops. I find it's easier to calculate starting from 220 and then subtract, instead of adding the FCR of all items you intend to use. For example: if you don't have Griffon's but you have a 20% FCR circlet, this means you can still afford to 'lose' 15% elsewhere in your setup.*

Put differently, there's a 20% margin to play with (assuming you have all gear listed above). Want more mana? Replace magefists with frosties and you can still reach 200 FCR. Want more skills? Replace Wizardspike with HotO and 1 FCR ring with SoJ. And so on.

*As a consequence, if you have neither Arachnid's nor Griffon's you can forget about it. ;)
