Condenser mic background noise

I recently had a problem with my mic quality being really bad but I solved it by disabling the noise suppression and the acoustic cancellation of the audio drivers on the pc. but now my problem is background noise. I know I can remove the background noise with editing but I want to use the microphone in csgo a live online game so I can talk with my teammate without any noise is the background

So, to start with make sure the mic is actually reasonably close to your head position, and is pointed the right way (yes, it does have a front). This should reduce the obviousness of any background noise compared to your voice. If you haven't already, try changing which side you have the mic on, if that will allow it to point away from the main source of noise.

 

If you've not reached what you consider a usable sound yet, then you can try a software based equaliser to reduce problem frequencies. Equaliser APO is a good choice for this. To get a reference of what frequencies are most obvious then you can use a software RTA like jDFT, just select your mic as the input device.
