Small entry level studio(ish) setup?

Hello so basically I stream games on twitch talk to my friends online and I want a quality mic with the setup that I would be able to use now and maybe in future. So what I have in mind is Presonus Audiobox iOne or iTwo (don't really know the difference between the two paired with AT2020 Cardioid mic (XLR not the USB). Now a lot of people might think why not just get the USB version? Well I hate my onboard audio it' Maximus VII hero. For some reason they always amplify my headphones after I restart the PC so every time I get super loud sound when I start up a game or movie after I turn on PC. Also it alterates sound a bit (probably just an EQ thing) on my HD598's and also I grew to absolutely love my Behringer Xenyx 502 now why do I want an interface if I have a mixer already? It's because I heard that those are better quality and really has more uses. Well that's what I've heard so any advice on those? Any other combo wombos's halp pls thanks. :)

Because I would love to control all my audio via one box instead oh having to control all the audio separately.

fair enough.

I would try the mixer you have already, it might sound good

Yeah the mixer actually has phantom power in it. But I'm still willing to try the interface. What I don't really like about it is that it doesn't have a DAC and as I said my onboard audio is just funzies even though it was a high end(ish) mobo when Z97 launched. So that's a dissapointment haha. Also I wonder if I could connect a stack to my mixer that would be awesome actually or to a interface. Still thanks for reply mate! :)
