Any good Microphones for the PC? (mostly gaming)?
My microphone for gaming (Logitech) seems to have died just recently, so it makes loud Popping sounds, so I need a new microphone. It would be good if it had these qualities:
- Available in Canadian Best Buy/Future Shop stores
- Not TOO expensive (eg $1000). Below $100 would be nice but not required.
- Doesn't make me sound completely different to what I really sound like
- Doesn't make a buzzing of some sort, or other low quality sounds.
I will probably be recording my voice for funny videos too, so it would be nice if it sounded as if I was a character. Eg:

On a side note, it would be nice to be able to record singing, but I believe this requires a different type of Microphone, that's also expensive. If this is the case, it isn't required.

It has been my experience that Best Buy does NOT carry GOOD microphones. I use this one for vocal recording: http://www.amazon.com/Sony-ECMMS907-Digital-Record... and it does a much better job than a standard PC microphone. What also helps the buzz is to have an external sound card (these are plug-and-play USB) to get the apparatus away from the computer power source that might cause interference. I have the older version of this: http://www.creative.com/products/product.asp?categ...
That's about the best you can do for a cheaper recording setup. Don't forget good over-the-ear headphones to use when recording with background music.

pre-outfitted enormous container pc ? means grant is in simple terms no longer sturdy adequate for a 6850. CPU bottleneck. The athlon x2 isn't quickly adequate to feed the 6850 each and every of the guidance it desires so which you will no longer get the full overall performance out of the video card hence you need to in all probability get a 5770 or 6670 as a exchange and shop money considering that there'll be no overall performance difference.
