For someone installing their first Linux distribution I would recommend Mint Linux. It is easy to install and configure and has good package resources. I assume you are going to completely wipe the old operating system? If yes, you won't have to be concerned with trying to "save" the Windows partition.
While I am recommending Mint because you are a new user, I favor Debian for more advanced users.
Let us know what you decide.
