Is there a specific reason why you only need Arduino kit while there are so many available for PIC micros?

Edit - I'm not aware of any Arduino kit that uses a PIC. someone with more knowledge than me can help you

 

To start on PIC you'll need a PIC starter kit... They are pretty cheap.. Google PIC starter kit..

 

I'm not sure what country you are in, but electronic hobby shops generally have Arduinos.

I suggest that you get an intro book...

Buy an Arduino Uno, and then just go for it!

 

Pic and Arduino are two different things. Your question is equivalent to “I want a Ford, what Chevy should I buy?”

Which is only a relevant example in a country that sells both Fords and Chevys.

 

PIC and Arduino are two fairly similar families of micro-programmers. There are starter kits and tutorials available on-line for both.
I have never used a General Instruments PIC but I have built many simple and complex projects using Arduino resources. The Arduino modules are developed around the Atmel family of microcontrollers. The Uno incorporates the ATMEGA386.
From my experience, I would suggest that before you buy anything, you go on line and view as many different project tutorials as you can. Decide what kinds of projects interest you most, and then order the necessary hardware. If you order a kit you will get one controller and a lot of very simple peripheral devices, most of which you will have very little use for.
Once you have completed several projects using the tutorials, you should be able to design , build and program your own simple projects.
To write programs and download them to the micro-controllers, you will need to install the Arduino IDE on your computer from the Arduino home page. It is a platform for writing code and compiling and downloading it to the Arduino. It is very well documented and has a very good programming syntax reference complete with examples.
Good luck and I hope you have as much fun as I do with the projects.

Me neither. PIC microcontrollers have been manufactured by Microchip Corporation since General Instruments spun off their microcontroller (Microelectronics) division in -- 1987!
Note: I've designed plenty of projects based on Microchip branded PICs over the past 30+ years.

I have seen GI PIC1650 preliminary data sheet only on GI-s '77 product catalog, not actual chip. I think this PIC is rare item nowadays but you can grab some PIC16F59 chips to try something similar, althougt it is faster and with more memory. These PIC-s are called 'baseline' or 12bit-core MCUs and IMHO are good chips for practicing assembler programming. They are intended for use with legacy products and legacy code.

To start today with PIC microcontrollers i suggest getting one of Microchips Curiosity or MPLAB Xpress development boards and download MPLAB X IDE and XC8 compiler free edition. On Microchips Developer help site are some examples to start with. Examples working with different Curiosity development boards are available in github, for example Curiosity HPC board code.
