If you buy a Shure SM-58, you'll probably never need another mic.  This is primarily a live performance mic, but is perfectly fine for recording voices. They cost a little over $100.  To record onto your computer, you'll also need an audio interface or mixer because good mics can't be plugged directly into your computer. The exception to this is a USB mic, which obviously plugs into your USB connection...but you won't be able to use a USB mic for live performance so it's less versatile.

Either mic will need an interface like this:

If you use a USB mic like this: http://www.musiciansfriend.com/pro-audio/blue-snowball-usb-microphone you won't need an interface, but it will only be good for use on your computer. If and when you want to start performing, you'll want to get an SM-58.
