I'm trying to construct ecommerce,reviews-site, image and audio forum

I'm Japanese Drupal begginer,using Drupal-5.7.
I'm trying to construct site fusing reviews and ecommerce,images,audio files.

About review-site and ecommerce:users can contribute ther reviews about the games they played,with impression and rating for each component of the games(for example,story/music/graphic quality).So they're more detailed reviews than those of Amazon's.
Please take a look Japanese games review-site "mk2"(http://www.gamers-review.net/).
This site uses Amazon assosiate program and I'll do the same thing, but I also want sell some original games with download-selling function.

About forum:you can contribute your works(images or audio files) and other users can comment about your works.
I'ts like Japanese web site "pixiv"(http://www.pixiv.net/)

About cooperation of those two systems:if a user purchase something,some points are given,and they can invest their points in another user's work on forum.

I'm constructing such site,already have some modules(audio,image,image assist,ecommerce so on),and I want you to tell me the modules I need to complete my site or how I can construct such site.

I'm sorry for my poor English.

Sorry, but as a beginner, that's a huge job to try and do from the beginning.
Drupal IS the right framework to build something exactly like that, but to try and make something like Amazon (but better and more complicated) is not something anyone can do without many months of development.

I guess there is a recipe for the 20-30+ modules you will need to chose and configure to have the structure for this, but I'd suggest you start a LOT smaller for the first project. Specifically, start with news & reviews. Add voting and rating maybe. Then see if userpoints are possible. Then get professional help to do ecommerce.

if you are asking a question you think should be documented, please provide a link to the handbook where you think the answer should be found.

Thank you for your kind advice,dman!
