Definatly do not get a USB powered Mic. Get a audio interface with phantom power. You can pick up a good one with two mic inputs for $100. I would go with Yamaha or M-Audio for the interface.
I use a Steinberg CI1:

I would recommend Blu microphones. Either the Spark ($200) or the Blue bird ($300). They spark has focus control which is great for recording guitars and strings. Great mics and sound much better than what they cost. Also come with a custom shockmount and pop filter (which is ok but I add another larger metal one).

EDIT: Massive is a great synth if your looking for options. Also sometimes it helps writers block if you try and do some sampling or check out
www.looperman.com and use some of those loops or acapellas.
