I don't have the pc to run sh5, but regarding sh3 I'd advise just loading it and gwx, playing that and see what you think and go from there.
It's easy to start the modding madness, but it also leads many times to one spending more time modding the game (and fixing the game after such modding screwed it up) than actually playing it.
GWX is an easy install and will get you going. I prefer NYGM, but it's install is a bit more involved. Not hard to do in reality, but gwx is easier to install for someone new.
I'm a firm believer in the KISS principle.
