Hi. Welcome. Roughly where are you, and what kind of places do you anticipate diving? Any rough idea about how often you might be diving?
Mask fit is individual and for some people hard enough to achieve that if you find one that fits great, buy 2 and plan to pack it in your carry on baggage when you travel to dive.
A dive computer could be a good choice if you learn the interface and what alerts mean.
If you are an unusual size or body shape, or just don't like wearing rental options, a wetsuit could be a good choice.

Agree. Plus BCD. I bought it all used. Give some thought to tank size before you buy. That steel 120 was just too heavy for any really long walks. Computer is a good idea, but you can get by with a cheap watch and depth gauge. Definitely a computer if you plan on a lot of "deep" dives.Mask, wetsuit, fins, regulator. All of these can be had for the price of a nice set of golf clubs
