A good microphone...?

[Yamero Entetainment]

Hi guys,
I wasn't sure whether to put it in this thread but I thought this was the closest to what I have to say. Now I'm a teen so I don't work and I have a budget of £30 - £50 to spend on a microphone to record Let's Plays with as my internal mic is, respectively, shocking. Can someone recommend a good mic with limited background recording so that it is clear and good quality. I was using a headset but that still doesn't sound great, just wondered if any of you guys have some suggestions
Cheers

I have one of these for my laptop: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Blue-Microp...&qid=1365698845&sr=8-7&keywords=blue+snowball
It's really good, around the same quality as the Blue snowball ICE and it can go above your screen like a webcam so it's not in the way

You can probs get other ones which are better but this is just so small and good quality I can't fault it and it's easy to use on the go

Ok, thanks, this would be really useful as it's small and can easily be stored. If the quality is good, which it does seem like it is then this is the ideal mic, thanks

I use the Blue Yeti, it's kind of overkill though.

Oh... I'm going to pretend that I found a used Yeti for £50.

Little bit over my budget Could only find a used for £63+

I use a Samson C01U. I like it a lot .

If you record it with audacity, it sounds beautiful.
