First of all, I'd like to point out that I am a total novice when it comes to this sort of stuff so I probably won't understand any technical jargon.
Basically, I purchased a Neewer NW-700 mic the other day (cheap and most of the youtube videos and reviews seemed to be positive for a beginner mic - I am only looking for a mic for gaming so I don't need anything technical).
Anyway, I purchased it and set it up (mic - xlr-xlr - 48v phantom power supply - xlr - 3.5mm - PC).
Unfortunately, the mic is almost silent and when I use the sound boost (+30) it is just lots of background noise.
This appears to be an issue a lot of people are having and so I quickly did some research. It appears as though I am in need of a sound card? (I shall post my specs at the bottom for clarification). This might not be the case but that is what most people are suggesting and I didn't purchase one.
If so, can anyone recommend any good, cheap sound cards? I've seen people mentioning usb-sound cards?
If not, can you please explain the problem? I have the phantom power (Neewer NW-100 48v phantom).
Thank you for your time.

Neewer NW-700 mic (and wires, stand, pop-filter, etc.)

750w PSU.
