I don't know much on this topic, I'm sure there are more experienced people here, but I'll start off.
You need an interface between the mic and the PC/laptop, such as http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/FastTrack.html. As for mics, the Shure SM57 seems to be a popular choice: http://www.shure.com/americas/products/mic...ment-microphone. I'd opt for this myself, but it's more expensive than using the Pod GX and you'd need to have a well set-up environment to get a great capture with the mic. -------------------- Ibanez 2550E

Yeah SM57 is the classic for electric guitar amplifiers

But it looks nice! Got place for the mic and headphones....and I see that I would be able to step up from Audacity. 
Yay, for that!

Some great replies so far
 I actually created a thread just for this. I review several audio interfaces I've owned and currently own and speakers, as well as info on Microphones, Speakers/Monitors, etc. This is actually a HUGE question but this info will give you a good start.

A good article from Sound on Sound is here
Oh and I tend to agree with Alan Parsons. By all means use a dynamic mic but try to team it with a good condensor. Also use a good mic preamp.

What type of interface you have at the moment? This will help me determine how big budget you need for upgrade.

If you want to mic a cab, you need to get audio interface with mic preamp, and mic. Shure SM57 is around 100$ new, and entry level audio interface around that much as well. If you are interested I can give you some interface suggestions. If you want to keep your tones from GX, you could try UX1 instead? UX1 has mic preamp next to guitar input, so you could use it for micing.
Also, don't forget that you will probably want to invest in acoustic treatment of the room you are recording your cabinet in order to cut down the reverberation to a reasonable level. Let me know if you need additional help for this. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE
