Get a Samson Co1U condensor mic or a CO3U condensor mic. They’re USB so you don’t need a high end sound card.
Download audacity. It’s a free audio recording program that’s comparible to the expensive software like soundforge.

If you want to get professional quality recordings, I recommend Pro Tools ( ) . Pro Tools is the industry standard in professional recording and is now available at consumer pricing (around $250 ). You will need to use a Pro Tools compatible audio interface instead of your soundblaster (which was not made for pro audio recording ). You can find Pro Tools bundles here:
As for the mic, the are so may out there, but it depends on your budget and the vocalist you will be recording. Here are some examples of mics you can purchase for your recordings:
Hope this helps!
