Help an audio novice out? (Audio setup help)

[kylec123]

I'm soon moving into a place of my own and will be furnishing an apartment from basically nothing. I've never had proper room to have my own entertainment setup (TV, turntable, receiver, speakers, etc). I'm looking to first upgrade my now defunct Numark turntable to something a bit "better". I've previously just used a cheaper Numark w/ USB to computer speakers to listen. I'd like to get a better turntable and everything necessary to have a nice sound. I've never had the income to really look into buying anything nice so I didn't. I now do, so I'm wondering if anyone can point me in the right place. I know absolutely nothing about speakers, receivers, amps, etc. All I know is how to use a record player.

Guidance? My budget isn't high-end, but lower-mid tier, best deal for a budget type setup.
