I think I'll take your advice(,) and take only my basics primarily.

It's redundant. The word "and" joins the two parts of the sentence. And speaking of advice, my advice about commas is "when in doubt, leave it out." This is not original with me, a teacher once used it and it has worked, for, me, all, the, time.

No comma. Besides that the list has only two items, the 'and' is conjuncting two phrases and not clauses. If it were written "I think I'll take your advice, and I'll take only my basics primarily", then it's two clauses, and a comma would be preferable.

cdmillstx is right -- no comma. Furthermore, "only my basics primarily" seems redundant (only + primarily).
I think I'll take your advice and take (only OR primarily, choose one) my basics.

No comma. You only put a comma when you can make two separate sentences out of it.

yes, it needs a comma
but the sentence is still awkwardly worded
