First computer? Well congrats!
Well I am into celeb gossip so my favorite sites are:
www.people.com
www.justjared.com
www.popsugar.com
As for games, I don't play online games so much so I stick to Yahoo! Games.
Have fun and watch out for viruses don't go to every website because they may have spyware which can cause lots of issues like causing it to slow down, pops, and of course virus.

Here are some suggestions to help keep you and your PC safe and it's all available from this one site.
Do a search on the various pieces of software I'm recommending and review the write up about what the software does and read the Tech and User reviews also to hopefully add some comfort to what I'm recommending.
Go to: www.download.com This is a ZDNet site and it's Safe!
Search for the following software.
AVG Antivirus - it's free and works really great
AdAware Pro - it's free
Diskeeper 10 - $29.95 automatically defrags your hard drive.
Spy Sweeper - $29.95 prevent spyware from installing
Spybot Search & Destroy - free, removes spyware
Spyware Doctor - $29.95 prevents spyware and removes it
Really good utility programs:
PC Pitstop Optimize - $19.95, optimizes the performance of PC
Registry Mechanic - $29.95 cleans out the registry
Hope this helps.

Before you go surfing the net, make sure you have a firewall and some antivirus software loaded on your machine (turning on your Windows firewall is a good start). Also, anti-spyware software would be good too. Don't have extra cash? Follow the link below for free stuff.

You get what you pay for, but these products will provide some protection.
Good luck!

Look for Bargains at Overstock.com.
Avoid Ebay at all costs - it is a dangerous website.
I found some neat Christmas Cards at:
Christmas-cards.com
You need to do Defragmentation every couple of days and Disk Cleanup. Also make sure you keep Windows up to date.
