1Go ahead ;-) There is not a lot we can help with: download the iso, burn it to a dvd or put it on an USB and boot from it. The rest will be point and click mostly. – Rinzwind May 21 '16 at 09:58

You want Ubuntu Desktop, as opposed to the server version. Since you are new, I suggest you go for the LTS release. Currently the newest is 16.04 (2016,April). LTS are long-term-support versions, which ensure you can run them for a few years instead of months without having to upgrade the distribution.
Get the image for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS on the official download page, burn it to a DVD or write it to a USB flashdrive. The instructions for doing so can be found on the same download page when you scroll down a bit. If you run into any problems feel free to come back and open another question.

You can create your USB boot on this site:
It depends what you want - and what you want to do. For a lightweight system research Peppermint 6.0 or Lubuntu, other distro's support more eye candy... Some distros for music or video production. I would not install Ubuntu 16.04LTS as I don't think all the wrinkles have been sorted out yet; I would go for the previous LTS but there are plenty here that would disagree with me.
With the USB option you can try before you install;
List of available distros on the site
Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Lubuntu, Debian, openSUSE, Arch Linux, Damn Small Linux, SliTaz, Linux Mint, Zenwalk, Slax, Dreamlinux, Elive, CentOS, Mandriva, FreeBSD, NetBSD, Fedora, PCLinuxOS, Sabayon Linux, Gentoo, MEPIS, LinuxConsole, Frugalware Linux, xPUD, Puppy Linux
