well there so many tutorials here just use the search botton you will find out many things about FL Studio. And if you are a legal owner of your software tons of tutortials and over 2 gigs of free samples.
and great forum through on the FL website.
I suggest you get a Akai MPD16 and MPD24.
(can use this pad controller with the FL studio FPC plug in).
A midi keyboard
some VSTi
if sampling a turntable
some vinyl records
some CD rip em on your computer just ripped Micheal Jackson Bad Album today go to flip some good ol' MJ
buy a good audio/midi interface
some good Monitors(aka speakers)

all about how you chop them up and put effects on em
But if you just got a mouse right now use that, you can even use your typing keyboard to make a beat on FL Studio,If you don't have the FL Studio Producer Edition I suggest upgrading and they have that offer for free life time upgrades take advantage of it.
