Any daw will do honestly. Reaper is quite cheap and that'll do fine.

You can be on your way, as soon as you find a daw to your liking.
Then basically look up some tutorial on making the sounds you want.

Ableton is probably the best live perfomance daw out there.

^ I agree.

Although I really don't like it, sequencer is a pain in the neck. Tried Logic Pro at school for a few days, that's the tits.
Great mixing interface.

I've tested around 8 of the most populair daws and my favorites are definitely Reason, Pro Tools and Logic.
Pro Tools mainly for it's engine though, it's a bit awkward for mixing sometimes.
