    There is way to many thing you can use to become a YouTuber but I am going to list some of the best thing you can get to start a successful Channel. This is going to be the best budget equipment to use.

    PC Gamers-
    1) Key Board : Redragon Karura K502
    So many different key boards and it comes down to personal preference. One of the best keyboard I have found on a budget is the Redragon Karura K502. Its about $27 on amazon and they quality is really good actually. The keys are smooth and silent when pressed on, the led lights are a pretty cool bonus.

    2) Mouse: Redragon Perdition
    So many mice your can choose from but one again I go with RedDragon. They offer a pretty cheap mouse around $38 and although its not razer mouse quality it can stand toe to toe with it when it comes to usage.

    3) Microphone: Simon Go Mic
    So the top one to use on a budget is Blue snow ball but I personally thing the Samson Go mic trumps the blue snow ball. A $10 price difference between the two but it comes down to person preference, both of them offer impeccable sound for a cheap price and it can be very hard to spot any difference between the two.

    4) Recording software: OBS
    I love OBS because its free and it offers you top brand quality. With this program you can stream as well as record, Its like the generic Xsplit. OBS can be just a tad harder to understand and navigate but with help from other you can get the hand of everything within an hour.

    5) Thumbnail editing: Photoshop
    You can get an older version of Photoshop which is Photoshop c2 for completely free and legally now. However, if you want something alittle more modern you can use Gimp, Paint.net and, Pixlr.

    6) Best editing software: Sony Vegas
    Im not going to lie to you but Sony Vegas does have a pretty substantial price tag but I love it. You could use WounderShare's Video editor and windows movie maker. Im sure there are alot more alternatives out there but these two are the ones I hear other people use and like.

    System Recording-

    1)Capture card: Elgato
    The elgato has taken the capture card market and completely rocked it this last few years. Even though it does have a pretty price tag its not far of from other popular ones and in alot of cases even cheaper.

    2) Audio for PS4: Sony Gold
    Now, im talking no voice overs but a microphone for the PS4. I absolutely love the Sony Gold headsets, its under $100 and the quality is just amazing.

    3) Audio for the Xbox 0ne: Polk Audio Striker ZX
    Although I do not own an xbox one my friends that do swear by these headsets, they are also about $80.

    When it comes to thumbnail,video editing and, voice overs use the same once I listed above numbers 3,5,6.

    If there is anything I missed I apologize. I hope this guide helps.

    I pretty much just started with my PC, whatever games I had on Steam, OBS, GIMP for thumbnails and my Blue Snowball ICE lol All of which has been serving me well ever since I started.
