As far as mics you can just plug into a USB socket go, I definitely recommend the Blue Snowflake. It was my first recording mic, it's a great quality mic for its price, and it's fairly easy to get for around 30-40 dollars. Most electronic stores usually stock them, though I've heard you can get them at places like London Drugs as well.

I love, love, love Blue mics (I currently use a Yeti ), and Blue is a microphone company first and foremost, so their technical support is pretty top-notch to boot.
