Being a normal person I didn't opt for any kind of bluetooth card/usb for my PC but unfortunately my headset's microphone (pretty terrible mic anyway) needs bluetooth.

 

My actual headphones on the other hand are awesome, so I won't be going for another headset, just a standalone mic.

 

This microphone will just be used for CS:GO voicechat and skype/teamspeak calls, so nothing serious. But I'm having issues getting a good budget mic, the only ones I can see are the AT2020 and Snowball, which are fantastic choices, but kind of unnecessary.

 

Help?

What about a modmic? You can just stick that to the side of your headphones so you won't have to swap those out. I have one and my friends have said it sounds pretty good, so I'd recommend it.

I actually couldn't underclock my 5 year old GPU to make it as slow as a next-gen console.

If you can live with a mic not on your headphones, you can get a lav mic. Something like http://www.amazon.com/Sony-ECMCS3-Omnidirectional-Stereo-Microphone/dp/B0058MJX4O/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1418618534&sr=8-1&keywords=sony+lavalier 

 

 

I don't actually want a mic on my headphones, I was more thinking a mic on a stand. Like the AT2020 and Snowball, just a worse version.
