An article by Todd Simpson
A pair of recording speakers (monitors) are a good idea. We call speakers "Monitors" when they cross over in to the pro/semi-pro realm. E.G. used in music production by pros/semi pros.
There are many good "Starter" monitors. For example, even a used pair of KRK ROKIT 6 inch or 8 inch would be great. (That is a measure of the size of the big speaker called the woofer, 6 inches or 8 inches) I have a pair of the ROKIT 6 and they are quite good 
They run about $300 a pair. OR the new JBL LSR305 which also run about $300 per pair brand new. Cheaper used of course.
These are monitors that you can trust during your music production. If these are out of reach, I'd suggest a good pair of headphones until you can save enough to get a pair of monitors.
AKG make great studio headphones for about $100 for a good starter pair. Here are a pair for $88
I've got a pair of these myself.
You need a way to get your guitar in to your computer. This is called an "AUDIO INTERFACE". You can start out just using a simple guitar cable with USB on one end. This is a great inexpensive way to get going with computer music production.
Here is one that is actually intended for a video game called ROCK SMITH which is a great game to teach guitar btw. I have one of these cables. Plug one end in to your guitar, then usb to your computer.
On to music software, you need a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) most folks use REAPER as it's free to try. A few use Cubase, but not that many. Here is a link to download reaper.
However, if you know how to use Cubase, then by all means use it and learn Reaper later.
Then you need a "plugin" to give your guitar some distortion/fx/etc. There are tons of these. You can launch them inside your DAW so that you can record yourself __IPBWIKI_IMG_HTTPS__www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_forum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif__IPBWIKI_IMG_HTTPS_END__
Here is a link to get started. This plugin is called AMPLITUDE. It has free amps/fx and you can purhcase others if you like. Free to use as is.
