Good microphone for long gaming sessions/youtube recording

[Croum]

I currently have the HyperX Cloud II headphones, I'm, extremely happy with the quality of the headphones, but disappointed with the mic. I plan to do long gaming sessions with my friends and talk to them through Teamspeak/Skype, I also plan to record gaming videos for YouTube, so the mic would need to sound good   (I have a budget of around £100)

It would be cool if it was a mic that could be mounted onto your desk with a swivel arm, but I'm not sure if I would be able to use a mic like that with the desk I use (Link: http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/60244745/#/90214308 )

I'm pretty useless when it comes to audio, so if you could also link any other things I would need with the mic that would be great

What one would you recommend? Or are they both good. The Blue Yeti looks a lot more professional (when you have the shock mount and everything on it)

Also, do you use a stand for the mic?

I like my yeti, but without a cheap boom it sounds HORRIBLE

I like my Yeti as well can't go wrong with either.

can you link me to a good boom? Or the one you use?

There are plenty of usb mics out there , usb i would guess is the way to go unless you have a particularly good quality external soundcard to accomodate the beast.Then a condenser mike would be of great consequence to your quest forward!

I just use this one, and it's been pretty solid.

You'll also need a adapter like this for the yeti:
