I'll give you a couple of tips then send you off to a site where you will learn everything.

The mics you are looking at "Behringer" $100-$200 are most likely condenser microphones and they do require phantom power.
If (and I'm guessing) you want to record onto your computer then you will need an external soundcard that turns your signal into something that your computer can read.
It's called an audio interface.
You plug your mics into that and it converts your signal from audio to digital before sending it to the computer via PCI card, Firewire or USB.

Enjoy!

No usb..you would still need an interface.

Yes they do come with power supplies, but I wouldnt bother if you want to use them for vocals, theyre just a bit too noisy...fine for guitars and bass but to tell the truth the preamps on an audio interface may be better quality anyway
