A USB audio interface is going to be super useful for adjusting the audio going to the PC. It'll allow you to adjust low, mid, highs and general gain on the mic. If you go for the fancier mics which require phantom power, it will provide this.
There won't be any PCI cards that will allow a XLR connection. Personally, I have a tripod microphone stand with a boom that comes out over my desk and can point a shotgun mic directly at me. Audio quality is great and because of the narrow audio profile of the mic it doesn't pick up as much from sources it's not pointed at, like keyboards and PC fans.
