it depends what you call cheap!

if u use cool edit then i'd suggest or motu stuff or the tascam stuff for 8 channels at least
for recording less i'd see the e-mu 1820 which rock!
the mic u need right away is the shure sm57! cheap and it's very used!
if you want a condenser mic maybe try the studio project c3 or something like that!

kurt give him a list of good mics :D

but it really depends what you plan to record... how many tracks, etc...
tell us more about the recording you want to make and the budget!

well i record my band sometimes but i'm not really into that because we are sort of falling apart but i record myself as a solo artist i record myself playing guitar,bass,otehr instruments,and vocals, and sometimes my bro fills in with the drums
i have an ESP F50 electric guitar/Guitar Reasearch half stack
Yamaha RBX700 bass/Crate 60 watt Bass amp
and a everyday normal kit

if that's the case i would suggest the e-mu 1820 soundcard, a shure sm 57 and a condenser mic... this depends on your budget!
if want and can record drums try the tascam fw1884 and buy one sm 57, a akg 112, a pair of studio projects c4
if you still can buy other 3 sm57 for the toms on the drums and a mic for hi-hat - there are options
but it depends on your budget!

and how about buying a decent guitar? a fender american strat or so?

i was looking for all of this for a total less that 600 bucks if that is possible

that way you have to eliminate almost everything!
i'd recommend then 2 things! the e-mu 1820 and a sm 57
when you can upgrade you could add stuff to those!
this are very good so you'd be adding stuff

Instead of the MXL 990 I would go with the samson CO1 condensor. It's the same price and it sounds amazing for only being $60.

If you wanna hear what it sounds like go to http://www.wastoids.com and download thier Mp3's. I used the CO1 on the vocals and Cymbals. Sounds Decent!

Oh yeah, and about those Nady headphones...Save your money! Nady is total crap. Don't buy anything made by them. You might aswell throw your money in the trash can..

i really think you are making a mistake!
you should be adding stuff that really make a difference!
you say you have some shity mics and a few stuff, so if you want to record drums either you have good mics, pre-amps, etc, or you just won't be satisfied with the result!
i would definily cut most of the things you said!
i'd stick with the e-mu 1820! it has 2 great mic pre-amps (they don't even compare to the ones on the behringer :? )
later if you want to record some quality drums you could add something like a m-audio octane via adat!
buying a sm-57 and the e-my 1820 are my real choices! if you have money buy a studio project c4!
when you later think of upgrading you have there great stuff!
for mixing with cool edit you don't need a control surface... it's fun to use one but you can spend the money on other stuff!
those cad mics are really bad and why would you need a pop filter?
it's money badly spent!
as for headphones try the akg k 141s!
and by the way with a eurorack like that you'd be making a stereo mix of the drums! so trust me it's useless that aproach! either you have good stuff and good acoustics with your room (very important) or wait till you can
