Depending on what genre you like I would go to GoG.com or Steam (whichever is cheaper) and check out the first Fallout game (or look up gameplay footage on Youtube) and then look at Fallout 3/New Vegas. 3 and NV are not like sequels so you have no problems playing NV before 3 or vice versa.
I have enjoyed 3 and NV but not the first 2 because I am not a huge fan of that genre.
Off of GoG is a lot better if your computer isn't as old as the games themselves. Their version comes with a lot of mods for aesthetic and compatibility options. Off of steam, you have to deal with the client, and you get no such mods.
To which you can download said mods on your own so it's not so different on either platform. But due be aware that your bank might not support out of country payments making buying stuff from GOG difficult.
Anyways I started with Fallout 3 it's was a wonderful game filled with hours of enjoyment. Then I tried the first two games, and had a hard time getting into them because those are completely different games. After reading a screenshot Let's Play of Fallout I got the hang of the RPG mechanics and managed to finish it. After beating Fallout, and I felt that I got more satisfaction from that game then I did from Fallout 3 mostly because of the final part Fallout was better than Fallout 3's.
