Home recording- help!!!!

[SamaraPhillips]

hello, i am thinking of self recording in my home. I just dont know what mic to buy and what equipment to go with it?
I've had a look at the package called 'aval vocal studio'. It's an m-audio producer usb microphone. I would plug it into my laptop. One problem... My laptop isn't loud enough so would i need to buy speakers? If so what type? And i'd like to have headphones but where would i plug them into?
It would be kind for your help, thank you.

If you buy headphones, you would plug them into the headphone jack.

oh thank you, and is that in the mic itself or my laptop?

The laptop. The mic would plugin via USB.
