Logic it is, then. More plug ins than you can shake a stick at. Just remember to Read Teh Farqing Manual.
I'd suggest starting with just the mac and logic. A midi keyboard shouldn't hurt the budget much either. But it may be good to spend some time learning all that and then figure out what else you need as you go.
Case in point: I bought some great monitors (PMC TB2) last year but as it's turned out, they don't get that much use. Most of the time I make music at night so it's cans for me. I certainly don't regret it, as the PMCs will serve me for years to come, but if I had that money now I might choose a different way to spend it (better soundcard, synth or a duende maybe).
Anyhoo... always make the best of what you got before you go buying this that and the other thing.
