I did my very first string change not too long ago. There's going to be all kinds of opinions on what strings to get. I bought these Aquila strings. They're regular soprano strings (gCEA, with the high g string). I found the string-changing tutorial on Got a Ukulele to be helpful.
As for how to get started playing, I suggest checking out Cynthia Lin's tutorials, as I have found them to be the most friendly and they go slow. Read through the playlist rather than just blindly going in order. Like the chord-changing video actually is fit for if you need further help with lesson 1.
Do you have a tuner? They are really rather helpful, though you can try starting out with a phone app. The clip-on tuners will be more accurate than an app, but it's better than nothing. New strings take time to finish stretching out, so you will find yourself tuning often at first and for a little while.
I don't have a better pic of the instrument itself rn. I got it recently from a relative, and had to fix up the body a little, and wanted to oirder strings today while I'm at work if possible, but I just want to make sure I'm getting the right size. Would these work? https://www.amazon.com/Aquila-armoniche-Ukulele-Soprano-Regular/dp/B003UYY05O/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1506350793&sr=8-5&keywords=ukulele+strings
A Makala Dolphin plus a New Set of Stringswill cost you about 50$ but is probably the best option. It has a good build and is a great beginners uke, also remember that you will need a case + tuner + capo (if your into that) in order to use it properly. The Dolphin also becomes a great travel uke once you get a nicer one.
If you really want a wooden uke (doesn't make to much of a difference at a budget imho) than go with something like a Kala MK-S Bundle
