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 ?

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.

yes it's one of the best in its class. Just don't expect to get the same quality of sound with it as a standard condenser mic.
