Not trying to sound rude but I'm going to have to ask, what job are you starting and what will be your responsibilities?
Would worry me if I employed any staff that weren’t able to purchase a simple shirt/tie without having to request help on an internet forum.

Me too.
Like said above, go for the shirt tie combo, ask the people in the shop if it looks ok with your skin colour etc (i.e. I look like I have got jaundice if I wear a yellow shirt, so I steer clear of them). Also take into account where you are working (maybe for 2nd shirt/tie combo), if your in an office without air-con, go for the lighter colours in summer then if you get a bit sweaty with the heat you don't get big visible BO stains under your pits!
Next is always a good place to buy also, for about £20 you can get a shirt/tie combo.
Lastly, get about 5-8 shirts and about 4-5 ties now, then every 6mths, add another couple of shirts and a tie and throw out a couple of the more worn shirts (frayed collars/cuffs, pit stains etc). That way you don't have to fork out a mountain of cash every couple of years on a load of new shirts.
As long as you ain't got a 'Fat Neck' have a look at George in Asda... you can get Long/Short sleve shirt and Tie sets for £8... anything up to 18" collar (I'm an 18.5/19" collar and I found out last night they don't go up that big!! 
)
Failing that just try M&S, BHS or Top Man/Burtons for Shirt Tie Sets its easier than trying to match a Tie to a shirt!... Its been done for you!..

As far as ties go, when I was in the Tailors the other day getting a new shirt and tie, he told me that stripey ties are the 'in' thing at the minute. He may have been trying to flog me a stripey tie but I've been a customer for a while and reckon he wasn't having me on. I walked out with a stripey tie and a purple shirt.
If you really haven't a clue go to Debenhams or Next and ask one of the sexy ladies to suggest something. The sexy ones usually have good taste and it's a good chance to get talking to them Failing that, go to a tailors and ask them to suggest something.
