The first DVD is possibly all you'll need to install a Debian system with GUI.
It's possible to write any Debian CD for 32/64 bit Intel and AMD machines to a USB stick
and boot from that if your machine will support it.
Jessie really isn't _that_ hard to install on most hardware: insert the DVD / USB stick
get into the computer setup to prioritise booting from it, then reboot and follow the
prompts. It does take more work than a corresponding Windows install perhaps - but by
the time you've sought out device drivers for Windows, the Debian install is often easier :)
Persevere and all will be well, with luck :)
All the best,
