=Start simply= 
If this is your first step into microprocessor control board electronics my advice would be to start simply. Purchase a Uno Kit. There are several kits all easily obtainable, each provides the board, electronic components and usually a booklet to get you up and running quickly.

Some kits use soldered components, others offer plug in breadboard connection or ready made plug and socket connectors. Probably best to opt for plug in breadboard style which lets you build circuits quickly while you play and learn.

This is all the kit you need to get started:
