If you have reasonable internet bandwidth, the netinst may be all you need.
If not - CD / DVD1 should be enough.

The first CD/DVD is bootable, the second and third are to help you get 
more software if you happen to be disconnected from the internet.

www.debian.org should point you to the file you need. If yours is an
Intel/AMD based machine, then you almost certainly need amd64.

Further questions are probably better directed at debian-user.

All the very best, as ever,
