You can hardly go wrong with the DJI quads. The Wiki discusses one at length HERE.
Many hobby shops in the USA have started carrying parts. The only issue for a total newcomer is the idea of an opto-isolated ESC rather than an ESC with an BEC internal to the unit.
If that jargon is too much for you right now, keep reading over the above mentioned Wiki, tree up the chain for more details.
If you want to go really cheap, you can get a DJI clone quad (frame only) usually for less than $20 on ebay.
I have scratch built, DJI, DJI clones. Consider your first quad to be a learning experience.
