I have been making YouTube videos for a while now and have decided I want to start making them regularly. I want to record competitive game that require high accuracy and I am worried that if I go ahead and order a Blue Yeti microphone I won't do it justice or it may hinder may gameplay. I won't only do competitive games but prefer not to buy a high quality headset and the Yeti.

Can you perhaps recommend a stand for the mic or will the mic get in my way. Thank you for any answers and all input is appreciated
