hey ! you will need several things :
1. Computer (here you can pick from the most powerfull pc to the standart pc - anything goes just remember the better pc the easier things will flow)
2. Sound card (from the basic sound card to the most proffesional - the better sound card you get the better sound quality you will have)
3. Monitors (you can work in the beggining with house speaker or just buy new monitors for studio)
4. Programs for music creation, here you will need 2 main programs, there are several companies that makes those softwares, almost everyone are good, the only differance is in the way of working with each one, but in general they do the same.
you will need a sequincer that you build your music. (Cubase, Logic and more...)
and you will need a program for editing Wav files. (Sound forge, wavelab and more...).
5. Sounds (try to get from friends or from other places set of WAVs files that bakes drum, loops, snairs hihats and more).
6. VSTinstruments + Plug-Ins (VSTi are virtual machines that makes sounds like piano, guitar and so on, you just play them. Plug-Ins are for the effects that you make on sounds (Bassboost, delay, reverb...).
this the most important imho to start the jurney in music creation.
from there the sky is the limit, you can always add more stuff like Mixer, Synths, keyboard controllers, h.drives and so on...
goodluck
if you have any specific question then shoot.
