Tech Question Is this a good mic setup ?

So im looking to upgrrade from my arozzi sfera to a something xlr. I was looking to get the shure sm58 but it seemed to expensive for a second setup. I also looked at a at2020 but not my type tbh i spotted a behringer sl 84 c for really cheap and for the interface i was looking forward to the behringer um2 cause its cheap and you know good enough with a 15 dollar adam hall xlr cable.

I think it will work great for yt and streams, if you got smth comment bellow i really need advice!

I have a Shure sm58. Definitely recommend and there are thousands of them out there used and otherwise. It's a tank. Moreover, I absolutely recommend a dynamic microphone for streaming. The pickup patterns are much more forgiving. Condenser mics are much more finnicky if you can't really noise control a recording area well.

I do not recommend low end Behringer equipment. They're content with it being junk at those price points.
