I MADE A RESEARCH!

I'm not laughing at your English because it's very good, that bit just gave me a chuckle.

Ok I've had a look at the keyboard you've listed and I can't see any mention of a MIDI output, just USB. It seems to be aimed more towards a traditional beginner instrumentalist who is looking to improve technique slightly more than someone who is getting into "production".

BUT, if it does have a proper MIDI connection (not USB) then it might be a good way to get some useable sounds and also teach yourself a few basic chords/scales while you're at it if you literally have no idea where to start.

Personally I would look at a beginners synthesiser, perhaps something like the Microkorg, or Korg R3. These would probably last much longer in your setup as they give you the chance to learn synthesis and develop your own sounds over time.

Good luck dude. :D

i think that keyboard is more of a consumer level keyboard, not geared towards music making in general, but more of your beginner level jam keyboard.

i dont really have any suggestions for you, but i think you would grow out of that pretty fast, and i wouldent really suggest trying to use something like that for making beats.

like the above poster suggested, something more along the lines of the korg r3 would probably be right up your alley, and its gonna be more geared towards making music with as well.

keep researching, maybe try gearslutz .com and ask them over there, those guys might be able to steer you more in the right direction as well.
