and wut we're telling u is without the pc your other equipment will be useless. but for your sound card get the Digidesign Mbox. It has a built in preamp so it's 2 birds with one stone. Mic choice is just a preference that you will have to decide on. But the mics that alcatrakz recommended are decent. the mic u pickd out is an excellent choice tho. But we're trying to tell you not to connect your mic into a shitty preamp. and dont connect ur preamp into a shitty sound card. And dont connect ur sound card into a shitty PC. ake our rcommendations very serious and you will be extremelyhappy with the outcome. If you don't listen you're gonna be pissed later. TRUST US...

Build yourself a decent PC...
Then buy a good sound card/preamp...
then buy a good mic.
Make sure you buy a pop filer and tripod boom stand

...Do it in that order
