Hi,

I bought a Blue Snowball.

Which periferals are necessary?

What is the cheapest Popfilter i should buy?

(I live in Germany)

Next time you should check what microphone you want before doing that, people tend to buy Yetis and Snowballs just because it's popular when they can get better for even cheaper.

As far as peripherals go - I think a popfilter is the first thing you should look at. To be honest there isn't a major difference between them, I personally bought this pop filter -

After my previous and cheaper one had its screw getting loose and all that. I personally have the snowball as well and a small one would suffice in terms of size. Just make sure the seller isn't a nobody cause I can't find THE cheapest, perhaps this - https://www.amazon.com/Dragonpad-USA-Microphone-Studio-Filter/dp/B008AOH1O6/ref=sr_1_9?s=musical-instruments&ie=UTF8&qid=1545596086&sr=1-9&keywords=pop+filter

 

Also, you can look for a boom arm - A mechanical arm that holds the microphone and allows you to play a bit with its position so you can get it closer to your mouth, also distances your microphone from the noises of your computer. I'd suggest this - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DY1F2CS/ref=ask_ql_qh_dp_hza

Make sure that the boom arm supports your mic's thread size and if not has an adapter, also the thickness of your desktop(because of the boom arm's clamp).
