So I plan to record for youtube and i need a good mic. I'v heard the blue snowball mic is it a decent mic. and will the sound card integrated MOBO be good enough ?
 
Solution
that mic is not a "real" condenser mic. it is a simple one that has its own integrated sound card, since it connects using USB, it has nothing to do with your PC's sound card.

A real, professional condenser mic uses an XLR cable and requires 48V phantom power, which can only be supplied and connected to a pc using an external sound card.

if you don't want to spend to much, the snowball is a decent choice. All you need to use it is some sort of recording software. It works the same as a standard $10 USB mic, except it can record in better quality.
