I think an RC, whilst a great AP scope, would be a bad choice to start out with. Too long a focal length for a beginner IMO....
I would get the best mount you can afford (stretch as far as you can here), and an ED80 style refractor or similar. Easy to cut your teeth, and very good for nebulae. Easy to add a guide scope along the way too.
