That being the case. I would pick up a good used A5 or even a 98 custom. I'd say just a 98, but at used prices an A5 is a great deal. Just stick to a stock A5 setup and get used to the sport and gun. From there once you've discovered your likes and dislikes you can go from there. Choosing any Tippmann as a first marker is a wise choice as they are tanks (near indestructable) and hard to beat for value for money. The A5 can do pretty much anything you want it to do in the paintball world. A great woods marker that can also do 20+ bps with an APE board and votex cyclone mod. Good luck and welcome to the sport.
