Scratched wrote A capture card is just a means of capturing video and streaming at the same time reducing encoding work load. In your case scenario something as simple and free like OBS would do respectively fine.

Okay... let me back you up here, one. You said audio isn't a major factor for you. Correct or not?
Do you actually NEED an XLR mic, yes the quality is far superior and will beat any USB mic out. BUT there is a cost and it's not JUST a mic you buy, it's a stand, shock mount, pop filter(s), XLR cable, and a preamp or mixer at basically the minimum. The cost can range from 80.00 to literally 4,000.00.

My Mic Setup:
Mixer - 329.99
Mic - 268.80
Pop filter - 9.99
Scissor Stand - 59.99
USB 2.0 - 3.0 Cable 4.99
Total Cost - 673.76

So I ask you, is high end audio really the route you want to go? If so, I can guide you there but you need to be deathly specific what it is in terms of audio you're looking for. By this I don't mean "USB mic in trash now." Because with XLR mics, it is NOT plug and play, a GoXLR "mixer" DOES NOT have good software and is SOFTWARE based, NOT hardware which is a HUGE difference. So, options that don't break the bank, but will provide quality would be things like..

Great USB Mics:
Samson G Track Pro
Rode NT-USB Mic

Mixer / Audio Programs:
Audacity
Reaper
Muxy
Waves eMotion LV1

Hell OBS can do so good when it comes to audio all by itself if you give the time and dedication to learning that software.
Some upgrades for your PC are not as simple as just buying one thing. And if you don't have a grasp on what you're buying you could screw yourself pretty bad. There are better mics out there, still recommend wired over wireless...


Yes, I want good quality audio sound when doing voice tutorials for an example for my youtube channel. I don't mind paying high-end prices as I know it'll do the job what I want it to do. I would want to go with an XLR mic and the accessories to go with the mic. Haven't really used OBS to record my voice, I've only used [b]Audacity to record my voice for tutorials.

Well, I said the audio isn't the things I want to improve but using a Blue Yeti isn't the best things to use. I kinda wanna move away from USB mics, to be honest, to answer your question "Yes, I want a XLR mic as I want the best and the audio waves sound clean AF."

Do you mind linking me the XLR, the best pop filter for the mic, best mic stand for the mic and the wires etc.. so I can bookmark them?! That would be a great help.

Yeah, ditch that 60Hz monitor.

You don't need an Elgato capture card.

You do need a cooler. Your GPU has a cooler already, the NZXT G10 is an aftermarket accessory for installing an AIO to the GPU so you would have to also buy an AIO with the G10 to use on your GPU. The CPU also needs a cooler.

If you want to connect to wi-fi, you need a motherboard with wi-fi, or an adapter. However, you should avoid using a wireless connection, especially if you're going to be streaming and/or uploading videos. Something like this is a far better alternative;

PCPartPicker Part List

CPU: AMD - Ryzen 7 3700X 3.6 GHz 8-Core Processor (£330.00)
Motherboard: MSI - X470 GAMING PRO ATX AM4 Motherboard (£109.97 @ Amazon UK)
Memory: Corsair - Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3000 Memory (£64.98 @ Aria PC)
Storage: Intel - 660p Series 1.02 TB M.2-2280 Solid State Drive (£97.27 @ CCL Computers)
Storage: Toshiba - P300 3 TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive (£65.98 @ Laptops Direct)
Video Card: Gigabyte - GeForce RTX 2080 8 GB WINDFORCE Video Card (£644.99 @ Amazon UK)
Case: NZXT - H500i ATX Mid Tower Case (Purchased For £99.97)
Power Supply: EVGA - SuperNOVA G3 (EU) 550 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply (£74.59 @ Amazon UK)
Total: £1487.75

with this monitor;
laptopsdirect.co.uk/electriq-35-w...TaEALw_wcB
or you can get a nice 1440p144Hz/4k60Hz monitor for a similar price if you're not interested in an ultrawide.

R7 3700x is out on the 7th. It will come with an included CPU cooler, but you can upgrade the cooler if you wish. You might also want to look at X570 motherboards since they'll be available, but most(if not, all) of them will have chipset fans, so honestly sticking with an X470 motherboard will be fine- just make sure you ask wherever you purchase the X470 motherboard from to update the BIOS.

I'd stick with 16GB RAM for now, and add another 16GB if you feel it's necessary. If you can afford it and feel like it, go with 32GB though I suppose.The RGB stuff is like a 50% price increase, whether you get 16GB or 32GB. Here is the 16GB kit in RGB if you want though;
uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/vfDJ7...2c3200c16w

RTX 2070 Super should be out in around a week and is looking like RTX 2070 pricing, but closer to RTX 2080 performance so might be worth keeping your eye out for an RTX 2070 Super, or maybe even an RTX 2080 Super when they launch, if you've got the cash.

I'm just going to slide in here and say that the connection type, this being XLR & USB, has no quality difference between them.

Good Read

Don't just buy a "XLR" mic because of the connection type is what I'm getting at. Do your research and use a reference point that you know of when listening to samples.

Okay thanks for the great help, why don't I need an elgato capture card? I want to record videos for my youtube channel. The new updated pcparkpicker does the cool come with the motherboard, also did you put on the list the AIO with the G10 so I can buy it? Did you also put the CPU for a cooler do do I need to add that on the list to buy? Not sure if you made a list for me to buy ready for me? Does the motherbaord that you made has it got a cooler? I will be buying that monitor for sure so thanks for linking me the monitor. If the CPU you linked on the list comes with a cooler I think I'm happy just buying that. The CPU I think it's out of stock or something as it wont let me buy on the pcpartpicker list? Would other CPU would you recomend me that comes with a cooler?

Again, a capture card is an auxiliary device that allows you to get better quality in streaming, this is because it reduces compensates for encoding letting the quality get a bump. BUT if you have the hardware to already be able to record and produce that raw footage, you wouldn't need something that will tack on another 100 - 400 quid. There is NO point of it if you have a 2070 or higher, you'll be perfectly fine without.

Yes, I want good quality audio sound when doing voice tutorials for an example for my youtube channel. I don't mind paying high-end prices as I know it'll do the job what I want it to do. I would want to go with an XLR mic and the accessories to go with the mic. Haven't really used OBS to record my voice, I've only used [b]Audacity to record my voice for tutorials.

Quick shots here, so the best mic, stand, and so on would cost you easily 4,000 GBP. I can drive that price tag up. So let me give you a reality check on products that are simply put, great. Do not knock a USB mic you haven't heard yet. When it comes to mic especially brands like Marshall, Samson, and Rode you're looking at people who know quality and provide it beautifully. Even in something like a USB mic the difference between the Rode NT1 and Rode NT-USB is entirely up to your ears.
