Hey guys, how would I record the system sounds and my microphone at the same. Thanks for the help.

You'll lhave to select "Stereo Mix. "Wave Out", or "What-U-Hear" to record what's going to the computer's speakers, and then make sure the mic input is selected (and turned-up) in the windows playback mixer (so you can hear the mic through the speakers/headphones).

Technically, you can only record one thing at a time. But with some soundcards, that one thing can be the pre-mixed sounds going to the computer speakers. Of course in order to prevent feedback, you'll have to turn-down the physical volume control on the speakers, or use headphones.

Here is some information on recording what's going to the speakers, but note that many modern simply do not support this, so you may need different/special software or another work-around.
