[atifkt]

I just bought a mic of around 70$. It came with a xlr cable.
Now my ques. is should i buy a mixer or pre amp or should i invest in a good sound card as i'll recording all my work on my computer?

And if sound card will the quality be equal to the mixers?

None of the above.
An all in one interface is definitely the simplest solution and almost certainly the best in terms of sound quality.
What mic did you get?
Is the cable XLR at both ends?

No one end is xlr which fits in the mic and other end is a thick jack much bigger than the 3.5mm one

Ok, what you need to do is get an XLR to XLR cable, and a simple one or two channel audio interface like the ones listed in your other thread.

Broadly speaking, jack inputs on modern gear aren't for microphones. They're more likely to be for line level or instrument level, which is different to mic level.
