My Gaming and Streaming setup! It can be a little overwhelming once you start streaming, podcasting and creating content. Especially if you are on a budget. These items have all worked out well for me from starting out with nothing to getting paid jobs!

items These are the products I use as a content creator / streamer! I also work for a media company and do live interviews. You don't need anything super expensive to start out with, upgrade as you start to monetize your content.

Equipment
Lights, camera, (microphone), action! These are the bare bones things you need to get started. Don't worry about spending a ton at the beginning you can always upgrade as you start to monotize.
SO much better than the webcam on my PC. It can record in HD and is plug and play. Super easy to mount on your laptop. A good webcam is a must for streaming.
Webcam
I upgraded from my original microphone! I decided to go with a dynamic microphone vs. a condenser microphone after doing some research on the best microphone for the office I have. I don't have a studio set up with a bunch of sound foam etc. This mic...

Adds a little extra protection against pops, s's and other sounds.
PodMic Pop Filter Foam Cover
I got a more versatile boom arm when I got my RODE microphone. It just allows you to really customize the position and make sure it's in a comfortable so you don't have to keep adjusting it. Also, the microphone is about 2 pounds so it's good to have...
Samson MBA26 - 26" Mic Boom Arm for Podcasting
Check how your mic connects to the computer! If it's not USB you may need a mixer for the XLR connection. This works with both a condenser or dynamic mic. ALSO it's lights are programable which I know is just aesthetic but it's nice to be able to set...

Connects the microphone to the audio mixer

Elgato Stream Deck MK.2
You need this light! I promise. It makes such a noticeable difference with it on. It's super affordable and you can attach it to your computer or phone. I use it when I stream and when I do live interviews or just taking selfies lol.

I like having a wired mouse vs. a wireless one. This one is programmable with a couple extra buttons - but isn't overly complex.
Razer Gaming Mouse
This isn't a must have BUT I can tell you that I love this thing! It's actually really come in handy so that when I'm on the computer I don't have to look down at my desk. Also, it's nice and sturdy so you don't have to worry about adjusting it after...

I LOVE these. Seriously. When you are streaming and/or editing for hours you need something that is going to be comfortable! They cancel the outside noise pretty well, they last a long time on 1 charge and they fast charge. I always play my computer ...
Wireless Headphones - Beats by Dre
Once you have a mouse, webcam, light, mixer, etc. you will likely need some more plugs! This one has worked well for me.

It's the cutest thing ever and there is nothing more annoying than when your mouse pad isn't big enough!

I get so many compliments on this backdrop!! The best part about it is that you don't have to permanently paint or damage your wall! I used command strips to hang it up and they work perfectly. It's not quite wallpaper and not quite fabric and is goo...

Nice kit if you like your desk wires to be nice and organized :)
Cable Management
I really like this desk a lot!! The LED lights are great, it has 4 plug in spots and 2 USB charging spots built right in as well as a cup holder and a place to hang your headphones. I haven't had any quality issues and I put it together myself in a c...

On the go must haves
I do interviews at conferences and all of these have worked out nicely! I also bring the selfi light in the equipment section.
I needed something that would fold up pretty small for on the go at conventions and this worked perfectly. It's got a lot of options for attaching your phone or camera to it and is super affordable.
