I'd like to add PWSCF http://www.pwscf.org/download.php, it is free. And it has a GUI http://www-k3.ijs.si/kokalj/pwgui/ to help you with input.

IMHO, molecular (like PCGAMESS or Gaussian) and solid-state (like PWSCF or PHASE) methods require different background and, to some extent, different mentality. Nevertheless, it is not impossible to switch to solid-state methods.
