Requesting setup advice

On A Budget

Go on, push the button
I posted this in the newbie section, but I figure I would try it here as well.

I am new to recording digital. I have aquired what I think are the basics for home recording. However, I am confused on the best way to link things together. I have tried various configurations and cannot decide on which way is the best. I would really appreciate others advice.

Here is what I have:

Presonus Firepod
Art PAC pre/comp
Alesis 3630 comp/gate
dbx 231 graphic eq
dbx 166xl comp/gate/limiter
PC with plenty of power and speed
Yamaha MG 16/4 mixer (I use it with my PA but think it maybe useful in the studio)

Currently, I have the 116xl and 231 connected through the preamp/send of channels 1&2 of the Firepod (the only send/return on the Firepod)

Thanks in advance. :)
