It really depends on what you want to start building? Any ideas of what your first 5 projects are? For woodworking, I'd get the following.
a) Circular saw. It will make fast work of cutting sheet goods, it's possible to rip boards with decent accuracy, and you can cross cut as well. Super versatile because you can make several jigs and use different blades for hardwoods, plywoods, and even tile. For light, occasional work, you won't notice a difference between a $50 Skil model and a $120 DeWALT model. Just don't drop it.
b) Jig saw. You can also cut plywood and hardwoods with a jig saw, but the results will not be as good. The benefit of a jig saw is that you can make circular (or any shape really) cuts. You can make a low more artsy stuff with a jig saw.

I'd suggest a a drill and impact driver set. You can get away with just a drill and use it to drive screws as well. However, with the combo sets, I was able to pick up an impact driver and a flashlight with a carrying case that uses the same batteries for about $20 more than just a drill and 2 batteries alone. The impact driver will allow you to drive 3-1/2" screws into studs like butter.

This bad boy has made furniture makers out of many that wouldn't be able to in the past. You'll need a good clamp to use with it. Just search YouTube for videos about building stuff. Ana White uses pocket holes on every thing and she makes decent stuff.
"A woodworker never has enough clamps." Everyone knows this.

I have 6 of the 24" clamps, 8 of the Irwin Quick Grip clamps, and a handful of spring clamps. I've been able to build just about anything with that many clamps... but I've wanted more. If you use the pocket hole system, you'll want to clamp pieces together before you drive the screws.
I went to a Habitat for Humanity ReStore and picked up an old particle board desk that is about 300 lbs for $20. That's what I use. Otherwise, you can build one from 2x4s with the tools above and build your skills.
Squares, Drill bits, Driver bits....
I usually pick up something new for every project I start.
That's about $500 worth of tools and is the barest of bare bones I'd suggest someone to start with if they want to build bookshelves etc. The most important thing you can have is knowledge and YouTube/Reddit is the best place to get it if you don't have a woodworker to physically teach you.
One thing I won't cheap out on are cordless drills, nothing worse than weak power or dead batteries. I bought my house 1 1/2 years ago and this combo was one of my first tool purchases, best money I have spent on tools. 45 minutes to charge, 2 batteries that last a really long time and plenty of power. Consumer reports puts out some good info on power tools as well.
You can find these cheaper on other sites too http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00CM7Z2KW/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1425222913&sr=8-1&keywords=porter+cable+drill+driver&dpPl=1&dpID=512u8Tb0RHL&ref=plSrch&pi=AC_SY200_QL40
We just purchased 6 of these (we got just the drills, but I found this combo since you're looking for an impact driver). I can't say enough good things about this drill. Lots of power, ratcheting chuck that hold the drill bits tightly. The batteries charge pretty quickly, and last a fair amount of time between charges. I've never ran into a situation where our work load got ahead of the charging times.
These are a comfortable weight, too.
After using DeWalts, Ryobi, Rigid, Craftsman, Bosch, Hitachi, and Makita...the Porter Cable has won my vote.
