With the Rode PodMic, you will need an XLR interface to capture audio with your computer. Check out the Behringer U-PHORIA UM2 2×2 USB Audio Interface for $45. While not required with the PodMic, the UM2 can provide 48V phantom power for other microphones that need more juice to work well. The microphone line-in is a combination XLR, 1/4 inch TRS port with a dedicated 1/4 inch TRS input for your instrument. Individually control the gains of the two-line inputs and the output to the monitoring TRS port. Everything is outputted through a USB 2.0 cable to your computer to be recorded with whatever software you use.

If you want a microphone specifically designed with streamers and gamers in mind, check out the Razer Serien V2 Pro USB Microphone for $130. A built-in shock mount dampens vibrations from your typing and general movement while the digital analog limiter prevents your voice from clipping during those intense moments.
