Before reformatting the hard disk drives, use an existing install to
download, verify and burn the ISO.

It seems only the Ubuntu server image is available with gpg signing. I
don't know how to get the desktop image or the Kubuntu flavour.

What ever Ubuntu flavour you chose, the ISO you need to download should
be the amd64 version.

For the partitioning I would use a live media, a rescue CD with GParted
or the GParted live media. Maybe the Ubuntu live media provides
GParted, too.

For the partitioning tool you could use a 32-bit or 64-bit ISO.

Regarding how to partition the hard disk drives, there is no rule how
to it.

Perhaps other subscribers want to provide recommendations.

I like MBR with as much primary partitions as possible, before
continuing with extended partitions.

I install everything to one partition, including home, but for special
data, e.g. music data or virtual machine, I use separated partitions.

I have a swap on each hard disk drive and the size of all swaps
together at least is as large as the available RAM. Actually modern
computers seldom need a swap, but perhaps one day, you might want to
suspend to disk. This feature compresses the data, so actually the swap
or swaps could be smaller than the available RAM, but IMO it doesn't
harm to provide swap as large as the available memory.

For Linux I only use ext3 and ext4, but to share data it might be
useful to have an ext2, fat and/or ntfs partition. Anyway, I guess you
should format all partitions to ext4 and perhaps you should split the
hard disks to 50 GiB partitions, but just in case at least make the
last partition an extended, even if you still could make it a primary.

Maybe we need to help you, but consider to read

As already pointed out in a previous mail
  sudo lshw -c cpu
shows the required information without unneeded additional information.

It's a 64-bit architecture CPU.
