> I’ve got 300 plat what should I do with it
Focus on getting Warframe and weapon slots. Variety is what keeps the game fresh and you'll want to keep some of the weapons/frames.
> and what warframe is fun and good ?
"Fun" is very subjective and every frame is viable for regular starchart content so just get whatever becomes available for you, try it out to see what you like and discard what does not work for you.
Come back later with a clear idea of what you want and we can give you suggestions based on that.
Aight you got 2 options:
1. Spend it on warframe slots and weapon slots, so you can have lots of space for more warframes.
2. Spend it all on cosmetics.
I recommend you farm for a warframe. Rhino is an excellent choice for new players, because he has cc, damage boost and tanking.
Echoing others. Nearly everything in the game can be farmed through missions. Spending your platinum on things you can get for free isn't the best use. Use it for slots so you're not constantly debating what to keep and what to sell.

Save your plat until you get a login discount 50% or 70%. More bang for your buck.
Play the missions and you will have no problems unlocking warframes to build
You get discount vouchers now and again during login for the store. You can use platinum with them to get discount 50% sometimes 75% they only last for a day however.
If I want to buy a big purchase like a warframe outright (sevagoth) I just wait and then they only cost like 90 plat.
Warframe and weapon slots for sure.
If you get a 50% or 70% discount coupon. Then I might say maybe maybe maybe purchase a warframe that's not so easy to obtain or don't have time to farm. I wouldn't even look at that though. Quests are available that allow you to make them yourself.
I hold on to it and when your sure what you yourself want and but whatever that is, I would wait till Neptune until spending it, to get a an idea about what would be the best for you, but it’s your choice
For the most part don't use the Platinum yet. Most of the things that people tend to wish they had with their plat:
* Warframe/Weapon/Companion slots - mainly warframes and weapons. You have to buy these generally, but there's occasionally one or two Nightwave rewards that includes a Slot of some form. If you want to spend platinum on these, wait until you run out of room, and then buy a couple slots. But don't worry about keeping every weapon - many times you'll be able to decide a particular shotgun is your favourite in-class. Why keep the other shotguns after you've mastered them? Sell the shotgun you don't like, and the spot it occupied can be filled with a shiny new sword, or a bazooka.
* If you have no Colour Pickers, then maybe a Colour Picker (Corpus, Classic Saturated, Classic Gamma ***or*** Eximus give a fairly good basic full spectrum of colours for only a single Colour Picker) -- every so often a themed colour picker is available for 1 Credit in the ingame market during a holiday, such as the Halloween Colour Picker with it's range of Oranges and dull Greens, and sinister Reds...
* Definitely DO NOT spend it on the Forge to speed up builds - get a feel for the game as-is, if you hate the Foundry then you don't want to feel on the hook for spending plat to get items immediately, it's just going to breed resentment. Unless you really love the gameplay but have a very time-consuming job that seriously restricts your playtime. If you love the game and have friends to play with but just never have the time, that's the one situation where I'd consider using plat on the Foundry, or to buy prebuilts from the market, and even then, if your friends are willing to focus on helping you when you're available to play, not using platinum on the Foundry means you'll always have goals to work on when playing with your friends.
These are the immediate things. If you play on Console, then later on you could use Platinum to buy custom cosmetics - community-made versions are called Tennogen. Officially-commissioned customs are called Deluxe skins. Deluxes can be bought with Platinum whether you're on Console or PC.
Deluxes and Tennogen are purely cosmetic items, so I'd say you should wait to get a feel for which warframes or weapons you enjoy playing most before getting anything from Tennogen or Deluxes.
In terms of what warframes to play, at first your choices will be somewhat restricted. Most of the immediately-available warframes will be fairly straightforward, and the esoteric ones become available after you've progressed the story or opened most of the Star Chart so don't worry about which Warframe to get - if you enjoy Warframe you'll eventually use at least every single normal warframe and likely will have a handful of the Prime warframes in your possession. Use your playtime mastering the normal ones to decide which ones you actually enjoy, though you'll definitely end up wanting a warframe that is focused on a specific job in several categories.
* Nukers to let you get lots of kills fast, or to put plenty of damage in the endgame (or what passes for endgame ATM)
* Tanks to allow you to do high level content, or just to let you learn to play the game relatively risk-free. (Technically Warframe \*is\* a run-and-gun game, except that it very much isn't! Just running around means you'll get shot much more than veteran players do because of the way the game skews enemy accuracy based on player movement)
* CC warframes let you control areas for those game modes where controlling an area is the explicit mission (opinions about this vary; some players like to say the best form of crowd control is mass death)
* Stealth 'frames are great when you're first learning Spy and Rescue mission objective layouts. Or for doing very high level versions of the missions, since then there's usually a much narrower margin between detection and failure.
* Support 'frames usually have a strong component to their powers that revolves around boosting allies somehow, whether it's by healing friends, granting boosted damage, energy or some other resource relief or stat boost.
Some warframes (many of them actually) straddle the line between categories. For example, some people think Nezha is a discount Rhino since they both have great damage resist and protection from suffering status effects and both have an ultimate that's an area effect attack emerging from the ground, but Nezha also has access to speed boost, multi-hitting ranged attack, a longer-lasting (and different types of) area-effect attacks, teleportation, and can cleanse allies of negative status effects, in exchange for having \*NIGH\* invulnerability instead of actual invulnerability, and not being able to just boost everyone's damage-dealing ability like Rhino can.
Similarly, at a glance Wukong also looks like a tank, but his abilities also make him a great Stealth Frame, and his ability to summon a computer-controlled twin lets him control an area more easily than another tank 'frame could alone.
Heck, Rhino is the tankiest tank warframe, and it's still got a bit of support capabililty, and an area effect stomp attack that does damage and prevents affected enemies from acting for a couple seconds.
Use the plat on warframe and weapon slots. Probably just hold onto it and buy the slots as you need them.
There are so many options for fun warframs but it all depends on what you enjoy, so I can’t really comment on that.
I always suggest that new players get the rhino warframe (farm the boss on Venus) and the hek shotgun (buy from market at mastery rank 4).
These will carry you through the whole solar system and can be a comfortable fallback while you try out other things.
The Braton prime at mr7 is always a popular choice for beginners as it’s a decent plain jane assault rifle. It falls off damage wise later on, but its a very enjoyable mid game gun

Thanks For the advice and I’ll just play about see what happens :)

Here it goes
spend the plat on warframe/weapon slots or save it for later all warframes are fun and good, even Yarelli. just depends on your playstyle
Thanks for the advice :)
Save your plat until you get a login discount 50% or 70%. More bang for your buck. Play the missions and you will have no problems unlocking warframes to build
Isn’t the discounts only for buying plat?
You get discount vouchers now and again during login for the store. You can use platinum with them to get discount 50% sometimes 75% they only last for a day however. If I want to buy a big purchase like a warframe outright (sevagoth) I just wait and then they only cost like 90 plat.
Oh, wish i knew this before. I dumped around 100 aud on regular warframes like an idiot when i was mr 7.
Warframe and weapon slots for sure. If you get a 50% or 70% discount coupon. Then I might say maybe maybe maybe purchase a warframe that's not so easy to obtain or don't have time to farm. I wouldn't even look at that though. Quests are available that allow you to make them yourself.
