If you're "very" new, I really don't advise even trying to start mining at this point. You'll need a lot of money (somewhere in the thousands of dollars) to afford a competitive mining rig, and it'll still take you several months and a lot in electricity costs before you break even.

This is probably the thread you're looking for.

Hope that helps!

If I were you I would use the blockchain.info unless you want to have a better security.

You should simply use an online wallet to start off, they do everything for you and fast as well.

I agree. Unless you have a ton of money sitting around right now, just forget mining, at least as far as bitcoin is concerned. You are much better off purchasing bitcoin's online from BlockChain, Coinbase, LocalBitCoins or any other site that services the country you live.
