Buy some dice.
Buy some books.
Honestly, it depends what kind of game you want to play. I think here you're going to get a lot of weird niche games suggested but for starters you're better off sticking with the a more 'traditional' experience. D&D is an excellent starting point if you want to play a fantasy game, you can even pick up one of their adventures if you don't want to write your own material.
If you're unsure about spending that much just to get started you can pick up this starter set that will include the basic rules, a set of dice, some pregenerated characters, and a short adventure. From there, if you like the game, you can pick up the full rulebooks and some more dice and whatever else you like. Alternatively you can try out the free basic rules by downloading them from the Wizards of the Coast website. All you'll need is a set of dice to get started.
If you don't like or don't want to play D&D you can check out a bunch of other systems that will let you play other games or settings. [Edge of the Empire] (https://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Edge-Empire-Rulebook/dp/1616616571/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=edge+of+the+empire&qid=1563883870&s=gateway&sr=8-1) is a really cool Star Wars game, but it requires custom dice. My personal favourite sci-fi rpg is Traveller though, and it has the advantage of only requiring six sided dice.
A lot of people really like Savage Worlds, it's fun, it's cheap, and it's generic enough that you can run almost any setting you like with it. Unfortunately there's a new edition due out really soon so take that in to consideration. If you want a more in depth generic system then I can recommend GURPS, although you'll also need the Campaigns book. This system is absolutely not beginner friendly, it slaps you in the face with tables and rules for all sorts of scenarios, but I adore it and it's not really all that hard to figure out.
If you want an alternative to D&D Green Ronin has the "Age" series of games, starting with Fantasy Age, continuing with Modern Age, and the recently released The Expanse RPG covers Sci-Fi. I will admit that I've not actually had a chance to play any of these games, but I've read the rules and like the system.
Honestly you can find a game to cover practically any genre you want, whether it's Grimdark Fantasy, Martial Arts, Space Exploration, Lovecraftian Horror, Anime Cyberpunk Space Opera, or almost any other thing you can think of.
Don't fall in to the trap of playing a game because someone suggests it's 'easy', play something that really grabs your interest and inspires your imagination.
If you want some things with simplicity of game-play for beginners but with enough depth to have a good time, I have a few suggestions:
Mouse Guard - you are defenders of a vast community of mice in a world bigger and scarier than you. The conflict system is able to be adapted to any circumstance, and the world offers lots of opportunity for fun and adventure without crazy number-crunching.
Here is Some D&D - you may want to pick up the clean version, as the "Fucking" version joke gets lame after two seconds. Mechanically it is a slick and fun system which emulates the fun of fantasy roleplaying without needing to buy $100+ of rule books.
Offworlders - great simple sci-fi system for running adventures in the galaxy!
If you want slightly longer books with more detail and resources, I suggest the Cortex Universal System or Fantasy Age.
Glad to see you getting into the hobby! It's always great seeing people eager to join in the fun!

Formula D is a really fun tabletop racing simulator that also works pretty well for 2 people: http://amzn.com/2914849648
Stratego works well if you want a chess like game that's a fairly different than chess: http://amzn.com/B0045OV9IO
There is a board game called Descent that does a very good tabletop RPG dungeon delve impression. It can have a DM, or they have a free app you can run on a phone or laptop that does the DM parts for you.
There is tons of expansion content, so you can spend a lot of money if you want. And even the base experience is in the $50-100 range.
My group had played the game before the app (with a human GM) and it was pretty fun, but a bit imbalanced at times. We decided then to just play d&d 5e instead.
We ran into a rut recently where no one had the time to prepare for d&d though. So we have gone back to Descent with the app GM and have been pretty happy.
The campaign we've played so far are a little on the stock fantasy with common cliches, but there are others that might do better in that area.

Rad Hack is a great post-apocalyptic rpg for super cheap.
For a solid old school tabletop experience, I would also highly recommend Basic Fantasy RPG . It’s five bucks for a good sized rule book.
There are several good ones on DriveThruRPG as well.
