Hi! I was actually looking to get started in the world of mining cryptocurrencies and I would apreciate if someone gave me some information about what are the best ones to mine and what do I need to get started, I find the mining a very interesting topic and after the succes of the bitcoins I'm willing to try it out

Ethereum or Ethereum Classic are your best bets to mine right now.  If you want to go through the trouble of dual mining, Decred and Siacoin are probably your secondary currencies of choice.

Ok than you, and what about the computer, what parts would you use to build it?

The best coins to mine atm are Ethereum and Zcash, if you wanna go the ethereum route get 480's, not 580s. 580 just consume more power for nothing as ethereum is bound to memory bandwidth. Zcash is better with nvidia GPUs. If you dont want much hassle mining you can always mine through NiceHash.
