I won't talk about the building a computer part, since there are many far more experienced members here who will answer the questions much better than I ever could.
On the note of digital cameras, there's a recent semi-related thread: here
Started as a different topic, but some decent recomendations I shan't repeat now. Depending on how much you want to spend, several of the fuji cameras double as web cams, particularly if you get one with a dock. To sum up, I personally am very fond of cannon and fuji cameras. For more specific advice, give me a price range or a list of features you need/want/etc.

"Life is sacred and you are not its steward. You have stewardship over it but you don't own it. You're making a choice to go through this, it's not just happening to you. You're inviting it, and in some ways delighting in it. It's not accidental or coincidental. You're choosing it. You have to realize you've made choices."
