You might want to post a little more info on your budget, how many instuments/musicians you are trying to record at once, and what type of interface you are considering (a soundcard with breakout cables or an external USB/ Firewire setup). It would also be helpful to describe your new computer and list some basic specs.
 
My standard reply:

Immediately get a good beginner recording book (spend $20 before spending thousand$) that shows you what you need to get started and how to hook everything up in your studio:
