Microphone recommendations

So I'm getting PC very soon and need a separate mic/ headset. I now have a headset and still looking for a mic. I want something pretty quality for $200 or under. Any suggestions?

I have the Audio-Technica ATR2100-USB Cardioid Dynamic USB/XLR Microphone.. This microphone has a great sound ( at least for me) and does not require Phantom Power to use. All you need to do is plug the USB into your computer and select it in your settings. Being a Dynamic mic It has to be pointed right at your mouth, but it does not pick up any keyboard noise.. And if you decide to up grade to a mixer or audio interface, it also has a XLR connector too! It has a headphone 3.5 mm jack to connect your headphones with a volume control.. All for around $70. Pair this with the Blue Compass Premium Tube-Style Broadcast Boom Arm and for under $200 you be up and running..

You could just go with a Blue Snowball or a AT2020USB+, both are very good microphones for their price. If you plan to get the Snowball, you could pair it up with a boom arm and a pop filter while you're at it.

I love my Yeti microphone made by blue for $179 when I got it a few years ago... incredible quality .. mult-options (sterio, interview, directional, or omnidirectional) and you can hear a pin drop from across the room!

I'll never use the Razer microphone again, that's it. Done.

SnakPakHartAtakNoise from USB power jitter, and popping sound when you speak loud. It's useless whether you turn down microphone volume or not, I thought maybe is the integrated mic pre-amp's problem.

AT2020 or Blue Yeti are the best options, although others do exist.

The best option is probably the AT2020 mic but it is a little more expensive than the Blue yeti

Most of the blue yeti line of microphones are high quality and inexpensive.
