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,
