I'm a noob at doing this kind of stuff. So what i want to know is how can i setup sound and audio? i want to start to make videos and live stream, and i need to know how to get crisp clear audio for the viewers. And also get crisp clear sound to my headphones (BTW my headphones are the DT 770 Pro 250 ohm). i got some questions. what mic do u recommend i should use? do i need a amp? do i need a mixer? What software i should use? Anything! I'm asking a lot of questions because i have no clue. So any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Your headphones are excellent. I have BeyerDynamic's Custom Ones and they are brilliant. Plug them in your PC or get an external DAC e.g. Asus Xonar U7 or the Xonar Essence one.

Now microphone choice.

Here is where it starts to get tricky. It's not the microphone that just gives clear vocals. It's the effect of the sound. I recommend a Blue Yeti, or the Yeti Pro if the hole in your pocket is big enough.

To get a flat, smooth soundwave going into your microphone, instead of echoes, you need some acoustic dampening foam. I recommend getting a plastic container and some contact / pressure adhesive (not the cheap ones). Stick the foam inside of the container, leaving a round area for your microphone to sit stable. This method is cost...

This method is cost effective and better than getting an acoustics shield.

Software wise, go for Audacity. Best free acoustics software available. Much better than some paid alternatives, a la Reaper. You don't need an amp (unless you want clear audio) or mixer.
