Yeah. Don't get sucked into tech hype. Why do you think there's a site called "gearslutz?" Take Dremur's advice and master what you already have. FL Studio is legit. It was the first DAW I learned, but I switched to mac and run logic now. I might go back actually. Start learning!! Go on youtube, google, this site (of course,) etc and study up on every aspect of production. From eq, compression, automation, mono tracking, mid side processing to learning how a sampler works and programming your own synth patches. Theres so much information out there. Just remember that there are NO RULES to production. There are some standards that correspond to genres but basically the sky is the limit.
Over time it will become clear what to purchase and your money will become more efficient in that respect.
you will need near-field monitors at some point. You can get away with headphones for now, but you will want to monitor bass and other phantom images someday.
Hope this helps and good luck!
