Good mic setup for $200 Canadian

Clanscorpia

What is a good mic setup for $200 Canadian including a boom arm, mic, pop filter, and interface. I'll be using this setup for gaming, talk shows, recording videos, and overlays Thanks!

At that price you're better off with a USB microphone. 

 

And do you want a boom "stand" or a scissor "arm?" I don't recall there being such thing as a boom arm. A boom stand typically stands on the floor, and a scissor arm attaches to your desk. A cheap boom stand is likely to be better than a cheap scissor arm because cheap scissor arms like Neewer tend to lose their hold after you adjust them a lot. 

 

I suggest:

On stage fixed boom stand: http://www.amazon.ca/Stage-Stands-MS7701-Tripod-Microphone/dp/B000978D58/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1455559858&sr=8-1&keywords=on+stage+boom+stand

Neewer pop filter: http://www.amazon.ca/Neewer-Studio-Microphone-Screen-Filter/dp/B00ACFAULC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1455559874&sr=8-1&keywords=pop+filter

ATR2500: http://www.amazon.ca/Audio-Technica-ATR2500-USB-Cardioid-Condenser-Microphone/dp/B004QJREXM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1455559975&sr=8-1&keywords=atr2500

 

Or, if the ATR2500 is too expensive, then the Samson Meteor: http://www.amazon.ca/Audio-Technica-ATR2500-USB-Cardioid-Condenser-Microphone/dp/B004QJREXM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1455559975&sr=8-1&keywords=atr2500
