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.

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.
