If you're interested in non-usb mics, you could always look into condenser microphones. I wanted to get a mic separate from my headset, but didn't want to spend the $$$ for the blue yeti, and I thought the snowball sounded poor for he price. So I looked into different Newer and another mic brand. I ended up going with this kit https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01D4KYRYC/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 for $50, and I think the mic quality for the mic is pretty solid. Having it come with a scissor arm is pretty sweet too. So I'd say check out mics like the nw-700, nw-800, etc just to see what else is out there.
Yeah actually heres a link to the one I use it works amazing https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01D4KYRYC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_YaMhzbSHZGJ0J
If you plan on recording more in the future, look into getting a condenser mic setup like this. Even if you use it for other things like simple voice chat, the difference in audio quality is huge. You can find lot's of videos on youtube on their quality and how to set them up (it's pretty easy)
I got it in a kit, I think it’s this one
(although mine came with earbuds too 🤔)
I really like it, pretty adjustable.

They are put in an L-shape and the mic is clamped. the mic was super cheap but super worth it over a normal headset mic. if your interested - https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B01D4KYRYC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02__o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Anyone know where i can get this in brunei?
There is another good cheap microphone that I use myself, I think it is a great option, Neewer NW-700 It comes with boom arm, pop filter, and everything you need. It does require a 48 watt phantom power supply which you can get with a Bundle with the mic or buy one separately. Though one thing I would recommend is a different Pop Filter as the one that comes with the microphone can be very annoying.

This is what you want! Comes with everything you'd need and a microphone that's just as good as the ones you mentioned...just a fraction the price. Look up reviews on YouTube or read the ones on Amazon, shit's legit and under budget.
Edit: I have the same kit minus the XLR power adapter. Mic just plugged into my motherboards mic input and it works fine. So you might could get the non-powered kit and save more money:

Oddly enough I still have a picture of my end, but sadly not theirs.
I sat at my computer with my headphones and mic and watch the map on my main screen with my character sheet on the side screen.
On their end they would hear me through the laptop speakers setting at the opposite end of the table as the DM. Hooked to said laptop was a gaming headset (without the headphones plugged in) who's mic would pick up all of them talking and send it back to me.
Obviously this was just because they were cheap bastards who didn't wanna go out and buy a condenser mic and such.
But if you were so inclined the NW-700 has served me quite well so far and you can get it and everything you need, including phantom power, for like $60. You could likely do a bit of research and find a good conference mic or something though. I've just been using that one for both D&D and streaming.... and streaming D&D.
I wouldn’t get the Snowball iCE, maybe just me but I don’t like it’s look or performance for price, my advice? Get the NW-700 kit which has the microphone, boom arm, pop filter and phantom power for £35 so probably $50. It’s also XLR so the phantom power can be replaced by an interface for even better audio.
Edit: LINK!
Was looking into them, just the cost adds up, a friend or two always come for a brew day, then would each one need a mic as well?
If I get a condenser mic and mount it on a arm in the center ish could work? Something like this perhaps
can you try to be a little more concise in what you want help with? like holy shit reading this post was like reading french and knowing a little bit of spanish... as far as bottlenecks go, the only way to fix them is usually by conservation of system resources (killing unneeded processes/minimizing their resource usage) or upgrading. you will probably need more RAM, heads up, because when i was streaming with 8gb my stream lagged a lot. i'd veer away from laptops anyways as they aren't designed to be used like a computer, they're just portable versions and you're going to run into problems like overheating and lack of upgrade diversity.
your mic is destined to pick up that extra noise, it's just what blue yetis do. you can't really fix it except by getting a different mic. i use this cheapo kit with minimal complaints, none of which would be for background noise. otherwise using a noise gate in OBS will mute your mic while not speaking so long as you can speak louder than your equipment
I bought this a few months ago: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01D4KYRYC/
​
Didn't need the phantom power with my gaming rig but it's nice to have it in case I use the mic for other devices. The stand is pretty sturdy for such an inexpensive package deal. I'm happy with it.
My wife and I both use this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01D4KYRYC
This mic is very clean, we constantly get compliments on it. My wife even uses it to record and gets very clean tracks with it. We have been using them for a bit over two years without a single hiccup or headache. If I had to pick a "negative"...the boom they come with is very cheap. It absolutely works and holds the mic in place no problem, but it is very flimsy compared to aftermarket booms.
Otherwise, go with the AT2020 and necessary accouterments to make it work for you.
Run, far FAR away from the Zalman ZM-MIC 1 reccomendations. They suck majorly. Judging by your other audio choices I also don't think you'll be pleased with the quality of a modmic compared to the AT2020 or the neewer...they're just a different level of mic.
i personally prefer the neewer nw-700 over the snowball. it has great quality especially if you put it close to your face with the sensitivity low. you can barely hear my keyboard with it compared to the snowball which ALWAYS picks up my keyboard sounds. i use it with the foam instead of the pop filter and the difference in sound quality between the foam and pop filter isnt noticeable unless you're an audiophile.
just my opinion though. its also cheaper and comes with a boom arm, but the snowball is much more popular. here's the neewer nw-700 (you'll need the phantom power supply that comes with it).

I saw a cheap "starter kit" for xlr mic on Amazon
https://www.amazon.ca/Professional-Condenser-Microphone-Suspension-Mounting/dp/B01D4KYRYC/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?keywords=xlr+microphone&qid=1574020308&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUFXNlZWV1VZS09KREkmZW5jcnlwdGVkSWQ9QTAxMTMzNTUyQlpVR1M4N1EzRzVBJmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTA1NzYyMDkxWlBVVzFGUEFIMklEJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfYXRmJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ==
Is this just absolute garbage or is it workable going from a headset with a built in mic? Don't need professional sound by any means, just to be understood by teammates.
I have the neewer nw700 it’s lasted me around 3 to 4 years and if you look on amazon it comes with a whole kit for $40. I would say it has excellent quality but I don’t have anything to compare it to cause it’s all I’ve needed.

A few bucks over your budget but still a great deal.

It looks like they've made a new bundle that includes the power supply and XLR to 3.5mm cable. I had to purchase those separately. This is also cheaper. I'm running off of onboard audio, so I didn't get the adapter people get, either. Look at reviews/samples on YouTube. Podcastage does some really good ones.

This newer nw700 has been working fine for me. https://www.amazon.com/Neewer-Professional-Condenser-Microphone-Suspension/dp/B01D4KYRYC/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?keywords=neewer+nw700&qid=1556925106&s=gateway&sr=8-2
It seems like it could be really decent. I use a Florean BM-800 which seem very similar. You don't "need" a mixer, just a phantom power and an XLR cable to connect your mic to the phantom power. With a clean up through Audacity I think you could get by for a good while and that is a pretty decent price.
I did this some time ago before I got the Phantom Power:

Question(s), from a noob but still important:
i wouldn't.
honestly if you're going to invest in a microphone, maybe save up a bit so you can afford something that'll last you longer. save up the 50 bones and buy this which is something that would probably be a good place to start. you get a cheaper clone of a Neumann U87, basically an audio interface, and a microphone scissor arm. all that's left is to buy a 7-10$ pop filter and whabam you've got a great base recording system.
