I hear the Blue Yeti is DAMN good.

 

There's no bg noise in this test I'm listening to.

The Yeti picks up a lot of things including background noise condenser microphones generally do.

If you're worried about background noise then you gotta get the mic closer to your mouth. Modmic is pretty good at only picking up your voice. Any desktop mic will need a boomstand if you want to go that route. 

My personal rig - 4790k 4.8Ghz, Asus Z97 Pro (wi-fi ac), Corsair Dominator Plat 4x8GB, SLI GTX 1080 TI FE, Samsung 850 Evo 1TB, Crucial MX100 512GB, EVGA G3 1000W, and cooled by a hardline liquid cooling loop.

What 'Beans said, assuming that you are referring to room noise and not noise floor.
