The Memory Hole

Hello.
I am thinking about purchasing a new Mac, however, I am not sure what to purchase. I was wondering if a high-end G4 is better or equivalent to a low-end G5. Also, does anyone know if the Power Mac G4 has USB 2.0... or does it have an earlier version of USB?
These are the specifications of the Macs I am considering. I really want to know which would give me more for my money. Should I purchase a Power Mac G4 with the following specifications:
Dual 1.25GHz
1GB RAM
160GB HD
SuperDrive
NVIDIA GeForce4 Titanium (128MB DDR)
for $2,124
or should I purchase a Power Mac G5 with the following specifications:
Dual 1.8GHz
512 RAM
160GB HD
SuperDrive
NVIDIA GeForce 6800 Ultra DDL
for $2,674 (!).
Thanks for your help, and if you need anymore information, please let me know.
Just so you know, I will primarily be using this computer for school work, video and photo editing, and maybe a few games (Halo and BF 1942 especially) here and there.
