Can't get Audio to computer from mixer

Hey guys, so I've been doing this about 5 months and am still trying to learn the basics.

I recently bought a Yamaha MG124CX to familiarize myself with mixers and to do some small home recordings. Getting signal to the speakers is no problem. Its when I try to get the signal to my computer that gives me trouble.

I'll describe my signal flow to get everyone up to speed.

Audio Interfaces, Preamps, and Mixers. I NEED ANSWERS!

Okay, so I'm sort of a newbie to recording. I have a background in live sound, and understand the basics and more. But as I begin to slowly assemble a "studio" of sorts, I've come across a question that I, regardless of hours worth of research, still cannot draw a clear answer to.

Do I need interface? or mixer? help!

Hi I'm a little confused about what I need to set up my studio. I've had little experiences with it but have played around at a couple other studios. Right now I have a casio keyboard with a midi out and a electric guitar. I'm about to purchase a Roland MV-8000 from a pawn shop for $600 also my parents are about to buy me a new imac and hopefully I'll get Logic with it.

Help with using a powered mixer with a power amp

I have a Behringer PMP2000 powered mixer with 12" speakers (B212XL) and a Behringer EP 4000 Europower power amp with 15" speakers (B215XL). I want to use the powered mixer/12s for monitors and the power amp/15s for mains. I think this is possible but I'm not sure what cables I'll need and how exactly to hook it up.
