The i6X is what I use (actually an iRangeX clone of the FlySky, if you want to save ~ $10), and if you check out my FlySky buyers guide you will see that (IMO) the i6X is the only FlySky radio worth getting. If you can stretch the budget a little, you could start out with the FullSpeed Bat-100 which uses brushless motors, it is PNF (Plug and Fly) so you will need to buy a charger, the TX and RX separately, and solder a receiver to the FC yourself, but that will give you an idea of the scale of the soldering that is an inherent part of the hobby, and also a sense of satisfaction that you have actually added a component to a model to make it work! Unusually for a PNF the Bat does come with a battery included.
The Bat uses 1s batteries so it is in a similar class to the QX 95, in fact they use the same props, but the brushless motors will have a bit more power which really helps to recover from your first attempts at flips and rolls! These GNB batteries should serve pretty well as spares, and this charger is pretty cheap and has good reviews, (make sure you don't get the LiHv option, unless you have LiHv batteries).
Edit to add, the 450mAh 25C batteries you have will be ok for the Bat (depending on the connectors), you might find that the higher C rating (discharge rate) of the batteries I linked above, might improve the flying experience though.
