So I recently decided to start livestreaming my xbox one onto twitch. I already have most of my gear, so was wondering what else I needed. (I'm not trying to break the bank right now as I am just starting. Looking to just get off to a good start and upgrade in the future). Here's my setup so far:
TV for Xbox (Soon to be Monitor).
Xbox one.
Elgato Game Capture HD.
OBS software for streaming.
Intel 17 4790k Windows 8 desktop.
Monitor for my desktop.
Basic wireless Logitech mouse.
Basic keyboard.
Now I need advice on headsets and microphones. I am a competitive gears of war player that plays for up to 7 hours a day, so I need a comfy and great sounding headset. I was wondering If i could go for around a $100 comfy/great sounding headset that also has a good mic so I could save some money and have more flexibilty. And just use that for game audio/party chat AND my livestream voice/party chat. Is that possible? Would it work, or not be worth it? If it would work, what would be some good headsets (xbox one) for $100 or less? I have some in mind actually; the HyperX Cloud 2 and Logitech G930. Would either of these work? Which one would be better? Any other recommendations? Or should I opt for a bit more pricier headset since I won't be buying a separate mic? Should I get a wireless headset? Let me know everything!
Now if it would not work to just use a headset for both gaming and as a livestream mic, what would be my best option for a comfy/great sounding headset/headphones ($100 or less) and a livestream microphone ($60 or less)? This would be the more expensive route to go. but if it is absolutely essential then I will do it. I was thinking I could go with a nice pair of headphones and then a separate microphone. Would it be worth it? Is it essential to go this route? A headset and mic I have in mind is the HyperX Cloud and the Blue Snowball or Audio-Technica ATR2100-USB. Or the Superlux hd668b headphones and the AntLion ModMic 4.0s. Would these work good? Any other reccomendations? Let me know everything!
Oh, NOTE I will also be using the mic, (whether it's the headset mic or a separate mic), for youtube as well.
Also, I need to know what equipment/cables I need to livestream my voice AND party chat and how I would go about this. This is where I am utterly confused and completely failed to find any guides or whatever on how streamers do this! For my youtube videos, I use an Astro powered splitter to capture game audio, my voice, and party chat. It works quite well. Would this work for livestreaming as well? I've heard that you need an Astro mixamp and I see alot of streamers with Astro headsets, but I just sold my A50s so really hoping that's not the case...
Pleaseee help me out here. Ask any questions if you need more info. Looking to get this figured out asap so I can get it all ordered. Thanks for the help in advance, and I appreciate it!

With the two HyperX, I realized that the mic is detachable and so you can connect any other 3.5mm jack mic to it..so wondering if that would work good
