do i really need all those speakers and whatnot?
Studio monitors are there to help you make mixes that sound good in the outside world.

will a computer mic work.
Maybe. That's up for you to decide. I wouldn't be happy with it, but I'm "serious".

it i purchase a nicer mic, can i get away with just getting the mic and interface?
Yeah, in the most simple of setups a mic, an audio interface with a preamp will do you. Something like this would work: Buy M-Audio Fast Track USB Computer Recording Interface at Musician's Friend

However, I wouldn't get that one because of a lack of phantom power (for a condenser).
