There are a few different places you can start:
If you HAVE to start from the beginning just read the first 24 issues, you can then skip over to Claremont's era
My recommendation would be to either start with Chris Claremont's 1st era (aka 70's) & 2nd era (aka 80's) on Uncanny X-Men or from 2001-ish (aka modern X-Men) time period onwards onwards. Either way just skip the 90s for now, you can alway go back to that later.
If you want to start with Modern X-Men...
From there you can get caught up pretty easily if you follow this list in order:
From there I would move on to the current All-New X-Men and Uncanny X-Men titles:
Great, now you're all caught up!
PS, the great thing about X-Men is there is a ton of content to explore aside from the main storyline!
...and much more!
Happy reading! :)
Thank you very much, this really helped my understanding.
Based on the information you gave, if I’m looking to read the early run that everybody seems to love, I can get it collected in these two Epic Collections: 1 | 2
Also, for the Vol. 3/Vol. 1 run from the 2000’s it seems there’s two bigger trades (1 | 2) that encompass it.
I will add some detail to ScoutX's post. Since you mentioned Dr Manhattan, I'm guessing you might read some graphic novels. If that's true, you really have to read the Peter David run of X-Factor.
Even if you don't like or care or know anything about the regular X-Men stuff, his work with Madrox and his copies is exactly what you're looking for.
To find out if it's your cup of tea, skip all the old stuff and the really new stuff and go straight for the best section in the middle. These two books will give you a great start for a decent price.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions or anything. Thanks
I only linked to the first volume of the complete collection, the 2nd volume is coming soon.
Does it have a good conclusive ending? I hate series which end on a cliff hanger.
