You can do all that using iTunes.
When you connect your iPhone to iTunes, look for a tab that says "Contacts" and press "Sync". This should sync your contacts to the Address Book on you Mac. When you connect your phone, iPhoto automatically opens. You can import photos you want from your iPhone on to your Mac. Movies and videos can only be transferred using iTunes the same way as contacts. But, be careful as probably your iPhone has been synced by another computer before, you might not be able to also sync it with your Mac without erasing it completely first, so back it up before hand on both your Mac and the PC you synced with it first (if you still have it).

Congrats on the new iMac! They are lovely machines and I'd love to get one myself!
Quick question - is the computer you used previously to sync your iPhone a Mac as well? Or are you switching from a PC?
