Recording Condenser Microphone

What microphone should I get to record vocals/acoustic guitar?

Q: I need a cheap little usb (preferably condenser) microphone just to record some vocals and acoustic guitar. I was thinking somewhere under $100.
I’m not too worried about the quality, I just need to get rid of the horrible hiss I’m getting with my current set-up..

Thanks

A: Shure SM57…very reliable and a good name to boot
I suck, it’s not a USB or condenser, feel free to b****slap
