What's your budget?

The Turtle Beach PX-21 headset is awesome, it's the one I use and it's really crisp and clear (I've had many compliments on my audio quality from this mic)

There is the Blue Snowball mic, which is more pricey but equally great (check out Attlas93 channel, he uses it and it's quality)

There are others, but if you're on a budget these are your best two

Ah. You may not get a 'good' one for that amount, but you should be able to find a fairly decent one if you google around a bit.

I use the Blue Snowball. It's very awesome. I got it on amazon for 50 dollars.

Yep! Just plug the USB and the headphone jacks into the comp and alter your output settings. Sorted!

I used a blue snowball mic for about 8 months, and only just recently replaced it with the more expensive blue yeti. The snowball held up for me and did very well as far as quality. My biggest complaint is that it is a fairly quiet mic, and I had to buy a mic stand to get it closer to my face to use correctly.
