As root, do the following
apt-get update
apt-get install task-kde-desktop lightdm

This will install the KDE desktop environment. There are many other
desktop environments available in Debian. But for new users, I always
recommend KDE as it has all the bells and whistles that one can think
of. The only downside with KDE is that it will occupy more space and
requires memory to run.

hope that helps
