Welcome to AF! :)

Yeah, the warranty would be void unfortunately. What handset is it, you can still take a look what's required to root and decide if it's what you want to do.

My personal advice would be to hang fire a bit, if this is your first android device, take a bit of time to learn/play about with it first and see if you really want to do it. I'm very pro root, but that doesn't mean to say root is for everyone.
 
If you have an HTC device and you are talking about the temporary root on that whatever bloat you remove comes back after a reboot.

What carrier is out from? I know on my AT&T phone I can remove 90% of the AT&T apps without rooting...
