Look at used imacs ffrom Apple or other online sellers with good ratings. You only need a powerful CPU and lots of RAM (quadcore and 32G) if you're using a lot of effects processors, synthesized instruments or mixing a lot of tracks. But you do need a good CPU, lots RAM, SSD etc to do video editing. Look for a quadcore i5 or i7 and at least 16G RAM, an SSD and a rotating disk for storage. Then you can use Garage Band or pony up for Logic.
The Home Recording for Dummies and for Idiots are good books, also ones by Dave Hunter, Bob Katz, Owsinski and Mike Senior on home recording. Probably can find at least a couple in public libraries
