So I need a decent mic for gaming/streaming and was wondering which ones are good. I have around a 80-90$ budget. I currently use a M-Audio Producer USB Condenser mic, and am unhappy with it, it picks up alot of background noise (like far away noises). So i am unsure which to invest in.

Also will buy a stand etc. separate from that budget.

here is a mic that is dynamic, the pros of a dynamic mic is the pattern is much more better to eliminate background noise better than a condenser, however they are a bit pricey so if you have the time to save you would want to go for dynamic microphones. Here is one for $200 but will require are or stand...
