Looking for a decent microphone for streaming

[KemoKa]

Hey, guys, I've been considering streaming for a while, and I have the stuff to do it except for a microphone. My budget is around $70. I was thinking of going with either a modmic for my headphones or getting an ATR2500 as that's relatively cheap and has good sound for the price (though it is a bit big). Does anyone have any other suggestions for streaming-worthy microphones? I'll mostly be on my laptop when doing this, so... ease of portability isn't that big a deal, but having it is nice.

 

Thanks you guys

and i think have to go to google and look for a good budget mics if those sounds bad for you

If you have a decent mic input on the onboard audio, both the aforementioned Zalman mic or the antlion modmic are good options for cheap. 

 

My onboard had a terrible mic in, had lots of noise and made me sound like a tin can, it was barely understandable

This was the cheapest usb condenser mic i found, it fits in my palm, plus it doesnt have a long cord but you can buy one for an extra buck, like i did. Im very pleased with it and the audio quality is almost on level with the big usb mics for way less. ALTHOUGH there is a desktop version of this which is supposedly more optimal, sadly i didnt have it available at the time:
