Good luck with this great hobby. Take that prior advice about trying to contact local HAM club as finding a personal "Elmer" (mentor) will help greatly on early equipment purchase advice.
#1 priority for HF bands is to get as an effective antenna(s) that your budget allows, and that doesn't have to be expensive. Many very effective HF antennas can be made with just wire and support poles and recall that any improvement in antenna performance helps both receive and transmit modes.
