Well, if you are looking at getting the Blue Snowball, you would be better off spending your money on the Marantz MPM-2000U, which fluctuates anywhere between $30-40, and absolutely shits on the Snowball in quality (it is on par with the Blue Yeti Pro in terms of audio quality, and has a much better noise floor to boot).
However, I won't deny that the deal OP posted is pretty damn solid. But the Blue Snowball isn't worth $70 at all if you have to purchase separately.
If you want to pick up a good quality stand alone mic, Morantz is excellent quality, and affordable. I recommend the MPM-1000u or if you want to spend a few more bucks, I run the MPM-2000u which has a bit more range and comes with a shock mount and a nice case. Both are USB so you just plug and play, you just need to figure out a mounting option and you're golden.
Here's the price history on amazon from camelcamelcamel, it's recent lowest was $30 new and it's hovering just above that right now
I picked up this mic for like $33 and am pretty happy with it. I've only been using it for like 3 days though so ya know.
I just bought this and and love it. Buying a nice pair of headphones next but i will never go back to a gaming head set again. The sound quality is miles ahead of any gaming headset microphone.

*Note: None of these links are affiliates. I just googled what I had and got the best link. I tried to post the links I used when buying. It's just been so long.
I would get this, much better than the Blue mics others are suggesting IMO.
