So I have around 200$ to spend... I was wondering if I should get another monitor and a dual monitor mount or a audio technica at2020 with a boom arm, pop filter and shock mount... I have astro a40's and i'm going to be playing a lot of games with friends and editing videos for my friends on day z and h1z1 and many other games... what should I get??

hmmmm

depends how serious he is about editing stuff and creating videos

if he plans on actually going somewhere with said videos, then invest in a mic, because bad audio turns people off a video faster than a spotify ad makes me reach for the volume control.

 

but a secondary monitor is always nice to have for other stuff, like twitch streams, PC monitoring, spotify, etc.

Safe the Money for the "1090Ti". You dont need a second Display.

Well i have several Display´s, but only because i need them for work. No Gamer realy "need" more than one if you dont play surround.

If you're going into some serious Youtube Channel and recording with your voice, then go for the mic. If you're not and just a very hardcore gamer, buy a second monitor. 

"May your frame rates be high and your temperatures low"

I misread titles/posts way too often--correct me if I don't.
