Nice man, I am building my own gaming computer next year hopefully, but for now I am a console gamer so I just have a macbook pro for editing, but its holding up great so far. Especially since i upgraded my ram i can edit smoothly.

I'm working on getting a Mac for my editing, too ;) Tired of Movie Maker... It makes me cry.

Yea, i used to edit on a PC with Sony Vegas but after I got my mac a couple years back, I just love the way it handles editing especially since all the editing softwares just look more elegant and stuff.
 
PC: a PC
Camera:Canon EOS 650D
Mic: Zoom H2N
Drums: Pearl MLX
Cymbals: Zildjian A custom, Sabian AAX, Paiste 2002 etc
Drumsticks: Vic firth american classic 5B
Editing software : Vegas Pro 12
 
Canon Powershot Elph 300 hs.
Windows Movie Maker (judge me).
Personality.
Sexiness.
 
We built a studio in our apartment and shoot most of our shows here. They end up looking like they probably cost more than they do, in part because we invested in some decent gear before we started filming.

A few things we have in the green screen studio are:
Cameras: 2x Panasonic GH-2 plus a selection of inexpensive canon & nikon lenses
Mic: Rode NTG-2
Recorder: Zoom H4N
Lights: mish-mash of a used Arri set and some hand built china balls and set lights. You can buy pro bulbs that screw into normal sockets, and then just build your own housing.
Editing: Maxed out Acer quad i5 system with 16GB RAM and a good video card. Software we have a Creative Cloud subscription that covers Premiere, After Effects, Photoshop, etc etc

We did spend more than most do on equipment to launch a YouTube channel (but WAY less than you'd see on a small budget indie film), and basically 3/4th of the apartment has been converted to filming/production/office space, but the way we look at it is it's an investment in making sure we have the tools we need to grow our channel.[DOUBLEPOST=1376166802,1376166573][/DOUBLEPOST]

There's a lot of ways mics can get expensive fast, as most pro mics are intended to be used with pre-amps, mixers, special stands and holders, etc. I mention that because some mics I could suggest would fall into your price range, but require extra money to make them work.

It's a little over your price range, but I'd recommend investing in a Snowball USB mic. Good quality sound and it plugs straight into your computer, no extra stuff to buy.
