Streaming gear can get ridiculously expensive super quick. Not everyone has the big cash coming in from donations and fans to be able to afford the latest and greatest to improve their streaming (at least not yet).

Well, this carefully hand-selected list is just for you! Oh, and everything on the list is Prime eligible!

Let's see if we can up your game for less than $200!

Logitech HD Pro Webcam C920

From Amazon!

This shiny beauty features 1080p with built-in dual noise-canceling mics! It has low light correction, as well. So no need to have to worry about fiddling with the settings mid-stream!

It has an adjustable clip that can be placed on your monitor or laptops, or if you want to get really fancy with it you could purchase the tripod that fits into the base.

The preview images are stunning and the picture is crystal clear. The only downside? It's a true wide angle lens so you might want to clean up your room a bit before streaming to the masses.

The sticker price is only $50. For the price and the quality, you can't afford to say no! You can dive into the almost 9,000 reviews here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B006JH8T3S/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_U_x_RcdZBb44DQE8M

But if $50 is still a bit too much for you at the moment...

Microsoft LifeCam HD-3000

From Amazon!

This what I currently use and have owned for years upon years with no issue! Of course, I'm not a streamer but I can tell you that the quality is far better than most built-in laptop cameras.

It's a wide angle lens with dual mics, as well, and at 720p. So if you're worried about being too ugly for HD this might be the kind of bargain you've been looking for!

It comes with software that allows you to adjust all the settings and exposure exactly how you like it! It even has some filters that are a lot of fun! However, the software tends to have some issues on Windows 10 and you may need to search for a fix if that is what you're operating on.

But all-in-all, for $25 it is a very good webcam with outstanding staying power! Take a look and see if this meets your needs: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008ZVRAQS/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_U_x_TcdZBb97WE5PP

Even though both of these cams have a dual mic, some of them can be overly sensitive or don't capture your voice properly. Perhaps a professional stand-alone mic might help you get some more views!

Blue Snowball iCE Condenser Microphone

From Amazon!

Owning a stand-alone mic has never been easier when it is plug and play! This guy sports a six foot long USB cable so you don't have to fret about where you're going to place it because it will reach just about anywhere.

It's an omnidirectional microphone so the downside is that it might pick up a little background noise here and there. However, you can just mess with the sensitivity settings without having to spend big money on a directional.

You can choose to buy just the mic, with the pop filter, or with the pop filter AND a set of headphones. Any of these options set you back less than $80!

The mic itself comes with a desktop stand and can be purchased for the measly sum of $48 ($10 off its original price right now)!

There are even audio samples so you can decide if it sounds clear enough to catch all of your ramblings and utterances while you play! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B014PYGTUQ/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_U_x_MedZBbWDWZ6K1

Now if you're working with a mix-matched set of low-end peripherals, this bundle might be the deal you've been hunting for!

Razer Holiday Gaming Bundle

From Amazon!

The holidays are approaching and the bundles are coming out! This is sold directly from Razer through Amazon so you don't have to worry about getting some fakes with stickers. Because that happens sometimes.

I know $175 seems pretty steep. But that is until you consider that it is one of the best peripheral brands out there and includes pretty much everything you need! If you're new to gaming or streaming this is the perfect package, especially if you don't need a cam!

All wrapped up in a pretty bow you'll find the DeathAdder Mouse with the Goliathus mouse pad (I own this pad and it's amazing. You also see lots of Pro Players flopping it onto the desk during tournaments), the Cynosa Pro keyboard, and the Kraken headset! Each piece easily runs for $50-$80 a piece so it's definitely worth the price!

Oh, and by the way, the keyboard has Chroma!

Go ahead, get yourself the Christmas gift that gives back to your audience: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0777VKTCD/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_U_x_M2cZBbZKDVRSK

And now that we've saved you from spending $100 a piece on equipment, maybe you've got enough left over to splurge. Want to make your stream stand out in a pretty unique way?

Tobii Eye Tracker

From Amazon!

This is definitely new and not something I had heard of until now! This eye tracker is made to follow your head and eye movements during your stream!

Well, what's so cool about that? You can enable it in your stream on Twitch and allow the spectators to watch the screen more traditionally OR they can look at exactly what you are looking at in real time.

That's right, they literally get to take a look through your eyes and see the game exactly as you are seeing it!

To make it even more interesting the company Tobii has been in the eye tracking business for years and has been making devices like this for medical and scientific purposes. They just now released this for the use of gaming!

Considering that it is cheaper than the Razer bundle if you've already got good peripherals this might be the thing that makes you stand out!

Let your viewers see your screen without breathing down your neck: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MAWPMXQ/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_U_x_F2cZBbH0Z9F87
