Your machine has plenty of speed and memory for Lubuntu.  It would be 
insufficient for the main Ubuntu version, or for Kubuntu possibly.  
Lubuntu, Xubuntu, Ubuntu Mate, and probably UbuntuStudio should work 
fine on it.  I prefer Lubuntu.

It's probably best to install Lubuntu 15.10, and upgrade to 16.04 this 
spring.

To install, create a live (bootable) USB drive.  Use UNetBootin (you'll 
have to install it) to create the bootable USB.  The live USB creator 
provided (Startup Disk Creator) is notoriously unreliable.
