Hi i know next to nothing about studio grade audio equipment but id like to step away from gaming headsets and into something more professional 
all i know is that keeping your audio processing away from your mother board is a good thing to reduce static 
i am a student in web development and creative design (inc editing and sound work to a minor extend) so iom trying to get a good headset-mic combo for my pc

i want to buy the at2020

Get a Focusrite Scarlett interface, otherwise you won't get the best out of your expensive mic.

You could also get the AT2020USB and not have to use an audio interface.

At2020 works well I would then I personally would get a  then I would get one of these 3  Audio technica AD700X's, Audio technica M-50Xs, or AKG Headphones you like.

 

Then these https://www.google.com/aclk?sa=l&ai=DChcSEwijnbqL-5DXAhWSgrMKHcRaCMQYABADGgJxbg&sig=AOD64_3i-rUIMYb33X3ILKVENc5V03VRqA&ctype=5&q=&ved=0ahUKEwiu1baL-5DXAhWERiYKHagfDQQQwzwIFA&adurl=

The Behringer U-Phoria UM2 is a better deal and has great sound. I use it with an Audio Technica AT 2035.

Focusrite's audio interfaces are nice, but not a good value. Go with Behringer.

I have that Neewer stand... it's a little flaky. I use a Rode DS1. But your USB Interface, Mic, and headphones are good choices. The M20X is a nice starting pair.

I have to admit that I am sponsored by Rode and am legally obligated to use the DS1... but it is still good
