Golfsmith.com has an 'Expert Advice' section that has a lot of general pointer, like how to pick the right clubs for you, etc. that may be worth a gander.
I'm a big fan of Golfsmith. I'm fortunate enough to have one of their B&M stores close to my house and they probably get about 50% of my business.
I'm definitely no pro or expert, but I'd like to think I know a thing or two about the game after practicing/playing for 13 years. When it comes to choosing a club, you really need to test them out for yourself: what feels great for one person may be absolutely horrible for you. I've gone through quite a few clubs/brands and although I'm partial to a few brands (TaylorMade & Callaway), I wouldn't say they're the best by any stretch.
I think the best advice I was given was by my Dad, who told me to find a few clubs that got favorable reviews and also find a few that you think personally sound good. Pull the 6 iron out and take practice swings with 'em. If you're lucky enough to have a small range built into the store (like Golfsmith), then take some actual shots. See how it feels and if it's comfortable for you.
Also...if you can buy used sets, I definitely recommend that as well. You'll save yourself some dough and you're still getting a good club!
Along with some new (or at least new to you) clubs, you may want to think about getting some lessons. I took a handful of lessons when I started to really want to play the game and it helped me tremendously! Even a Medicus isn't a terrible investment...as gimmicky as it sounds (again, I'd try and find one used if possible).
So...I've pretty much gone against everything that SphinxnihpS said, but I figured I would try and give you some real advice instead of just saying OMFGTITLEISTISTEHBEST!! ESPECIALLY when he can't even spell the name of the manufacturer correctly!
