How much keyword difficulty score i accept when website is new?

I have a new affiliate website which doesn't have good da pa.
which keyword difficulty score did I take?

Not any number or it depends. Your website is new but it doesn't mean it can't rank for any keyword at the moment. I wouldn't go after the most popular and with that likely competitive keywords. But it's good to keep in mind that you're still able to go after some low hanging fruit potentially in your industry.
In the end, every number that you pick is going to be subjective. So you need to make sure that you evaluate the opportunity the right way.

Keyword difficulty should be based upon the skills of the author and how good of a job that you can do against the content of the competition.
If you can beat their content, go after them.
Do not fear competition, because where there is competition there is plenty of traffic and plenty of money changing hands. Even if you do not rank at #1 right away there is still long tail traffic and searchers going onto the second page.
The greatest risk that you have by taking the advice above is if you are not honest with yourself about your abilities. If you go challenge a battleship with a potato gun then even God will not be able to help you.
