that all sounds good. the only thing i may add is double the ram. i've got 1gig of ram on my and i think it makes things easier when i am goin graphics or minor video editing.

the xti huh? what made you decide to get that model? those 2 lens that you are getting are pretty solid.

once you go dslr, things will never be the same again!!

You could consider 100mm f/2.0 instead of 85mm f/1.8. Both are excellent lenses and about the same price too.

YES! I am planning to get 1GB to make a total of 1512GB to fill my other slot! but budget restraints are holding me back now.....so 512 should keep my photo editing good for now......and about the XTi? wel it has some of the 30D's strong points, and its 10MP which is good cause I crop and make large prints.

If you're using PS, I'll bet you will wish you had more RAM...I sure do!

Excellent choices on the lenses.
