Alex,
Welcome to IIS and like Mike said try to get in contact with your local astro society and attend a few meetings and look through some scopes BEFORE parting with the hard earned.
In the meantime get a pair of binoculars (7x50 or 10x50) a planisphere and a red torch and start learning your way around the sky in advance of the big purchase. I did this for years before getting my scope and it really pays off to know your way around the sky.
Keep looking up.....
