I was were you are about six months ago. And this is what I've done
Start... By getting Dark Vengence, then see if you can find someone who also has it to trade your Chaos half for their Dark Angel's half.
If you can, Try to get the SM half of a AOBR, I had to buy mine used on Ebay.
After that, Get some Devestator Squads, and you should have a fairly solid list around 2000 pts.

I like to say I have two armies: Necrons, and Imperium.....

Dark Vengeance is probably a very good start for you. Mini rule book, 5 death wing termies, a tactical squad, 3 ravenwing bikers, A Librarian and a Commander, then you also get the chaos models to fight against, or try and trade for more DA stuff

Dark Vengeance set is the best value for your buck (outside of ebaying portions of it).
Play with what you have before you expand, as you'll get to know what units you like and which units you don't.

As others have mentioned, the DA half of Dark Vengeance is a great starting place. It includes 2 HQ choices (A Librarian and a Company Master), a 5 man tac terminator squad with a decent loadout, a 10 man tac squad with plasmagun/plasma cannon, and a 3 man ravenwing squad. It includes more than enough to help you figure out what you like. If you like the bikers, pick up Sammael and the RW battleforce. If you like Termies, pick up Belial and several boxes of terminators, and possible some dreads and land raiders. If you like infantry, you will be getting the same things that most marine players get, a few tac squads, devastators, and transports. If you like a little bit of everything, Azrael is perfect for you, as he makes DW Terminators and RW Attack Squads scoring.

Dark Vengeance is useful; swap the Chaos side for extra DA with someone else if you can. Mess around with that, perhaps add a few more Bikes/Terminators/Tactical Marines, figure out whether you like the combined playstyle or prefer Deathwing/Ravenwing/Greenwing over the others, then expand on that (more Land Speeders/Bikes for Ravenwing, more Terminators for Deathwing, more Tactical Marines/Devastators/Vehicles for Greenwing).

Grim Dark Angels Interrogator-Chaplain

I also started with the Dark Vengeance stuff. A great starter force (for Chaos and DA come to think of it). The level of detail that's gone into the miniatures is quite awesome. Particularly if you got your mitts on the Limited Edition- Seraphicus the Interrogator Chaplain is a fantastic model.
