Hi Jimmy, the biggest Dob you can afford seems to be the path to go. For the price and ease of use they offer the best viewing options and if you lose interest ( heaven forbid ) they can still fetch a good price second hand. And if you check the For Sale section on here you can probably find one within your price range and as an added bonus anyone here will help you with your questions. I'd suggest something in the 8" range, big enough to see most things and not too big to mange for a starter.
As a starter download Stellarium to your PC ( Free ! Google it ) and use it to learn and familiarise yorself with want you want to find. It will give you HEAPS of ideas and kick you off to a good start.

Welcome and good luck
