Misbelief

Ok....so now I have it. I have everything authorized. I have my guitar plugged into it, there is clearly input. I have it connected by the USB. There isn't any output. I am using a USB headset, is there a way I can have the sound come through my PC just like everything else?

Ty very much. I really appreciate it.

Ty very much for the information. I downloaded Riffworks and bought the line 6 Pod studio UX2 with POD farm. Do you know if it comes with all of the required chords or will there be additional attachments I will have to purchase? Again, thank you very much for helping me.

So, I want to begin recording and I have ideas about what I'm looking for, but I really don't know where to start or what products will fulfill my wants. I'm sort of lost. I want to be able to sort of use my PC as an amp. By this I mean, I only would like amplification to come from my the program I'm using. I want this program to have several different effect settings, effectively working as an amp, but through my pc. Ontop of this, I would like to be able to record what I play and layer several recordings over each other. I want to be able to create and make songs in a fairly simple and efficient manner, while also using the program to just jam. What will I need in order to do this? What pieces will I need to plug my guitar into my pc(or guitar into the device, that will then go into the pc)? What programs will I need to record and basically work as an amp? I working with a budget of around $400, will this be enough? Also, I have a regular gaming pc, will I be required to buy some extra things for the pc? Thanks in advance for any help.
