Electronic Music Options

[moonboo]

Hi Im in my senior year of highschool and for my graduation present my parents are going to buy me some gear for creating music. Ive wanted to create my own electronic music for a long time but could never afford or had a fast enough computer. Since Ill be doing electronic music Ill be dealing with a lot of midi and synthesis. Ive a lot of reserch and have come up with the following

-imac G5, 1gig of ram external hardrive-
-Ni Battery, Reaktor, Kontact
-Korg legacy collection
-Korg Kontrol49 keyboard
-Edirol fa101 or motu 828mkII (dont know if i need the motu for what im doing)

As for my DAW i cant decide. For along time Ive been leaning towards live 4 but Ive been hearing a lot of things about how great more advaced programs like logic and pro tools. I like to have a very capable system but do I really a larger program or would live be okay. At least for now Im going to do everything in the box and eventually buy a console and some hardware. Also would peak be of any use to me. If anybody could give me some adive or opinions that would be great. Thanks
