well i know i'm gonna have to pay but so thats not too big of an issue i just need to know more or less how much and what i'm going to need

Cheap and quality are rarely found as one and the same thing. What sort of budget do you have and what sort of recording do you plan to do? You can spend anywhere from a few hundred dollars to make "decent" recordings for demos and such, to several hundred thousand to produce quality recordings. Gear is the first step, learning to use it is the next several miles of the journey.

This is a decent article about computer based recording:

The main considerations will be how many simultaneous inputs you'll need (like, for recording a drumkit, you'll probably want at least 4 inputs) and how much money you can spend.
