Can you look around for used 3DSs? If you can get one from a reputable shop, you'll probably save a good bit of money.
Be prepared to restart a few times if you want your Fennekin to be a girl. Like all starters, you'll only have a 13% chance of getting a female. That's how the game throttles potential breeding, but people who get female starters breed them like crazy and then flood the trades anyway, so I don't know why they still keep the skewed gender ratio.
Getting a Sylveon is easy! Once you catch your Eevee, make sure she's got a Fairy-type move (and she will if she's under level 20 or over level 29) then spoil her rotten in Pokemon Amie and level up!
I picked Y, because Yveltal looks totally metal and Spritzee is adorable. And because Mega Charizard Y looks badass, although you can't really go wrong with either Mega Charizard.
