Actually Cubase (even LE) will make what you're doing much, much easier.

I wouldn't spend too much on a keyboard just for its sounds, unless you plan on playing live with it. Get something solid that feels good and has a good range (72+ keys). You can find all the sounds you'll ever need in soft synths.
