I did a search on the Neweer mic MW-800 and cant find anything other than a Motorola CB Mic.

$30 Microphone with an XLR to trs 1/8" male mini-plug.
Can't tell if it's side address or end address.
Looks nice, though!

IM not even a pro
So I'm only a beginner to home recording, I only want to record song covers and maybe play ukulele. I have a Neweer microphone as previously stated, and I also have a Phantom Power supply. I plugged my mic to phantom using m/f xlr cable, and into the computer using XLr to 3.5mm jack. It records if i go really close but also when i try to sing it sometimes buzzes and goes so loud it is quite a fright to the ear as it buzzes loudly like someone is screaming in your ear, but right before it is normal. If i even go five inches away it doesnt pick that much up, and it is definitely getting 48volts from the phantom power, so i dont understand what is wrong with it. oh and also my computer is nothing special. Dell Optiplex 755 (I know, its hardly good enough) but i didnt think that would be a problem. I don't own any mixing boards, and I can hardly work audacity effects-wise, so I am a complete beginner, have not yet successfully recorded a full song without those really loud parts and buzzes and without the loudness staying balanced.

You may need to open up your computer's "Control Panel" and check within the Audio Manager section to see if the Audio Input Jack is "On" and the Input Volume is "Up".
Although your personal recording needs are minimal at this time, recording might be a bit easier if you could afford one of the 4 items below or something similar:
Focusrite Scarlett Solo | Sweetwater.com
PreSonus AudioBox USB | Sweetwater.com
Focusrite Scarlett Solo Studio Pack | Sweetwater.com
Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 Studio Bundle | Sweetwater.com

what homestudioguy says ^^^
An interface will be of great benefit.
My guess is that the on-board soundcard and its 3.5mm input are not up to the task.
