The Peavey guitars aren't bad (I play guitar, check my website in my sig

)
The Peavey Valveking Royal 8 amp is very good though, I think that would be a good amp for you to start out on

(Ignore what the guy said about anything below 10watts sucks, Peavey JSX Mini colossal?? Roland MicroCube?

)
If ya need any help guitar related, shoot me a PM

Tip: DO NOT BUY A MARSHAL MG AMP (although marshal's are pretty expensive in the US)
Also: A Line6 PODxt might serve you well if you plan on hooking it up to the PC, you can record via USB (as demonstrated by a couple of clips on my website)
