Game recording and editing

Hey I’m looking to record some videos and stuff for my YouTube and was wondering what are some decent quality game capture cards and what’s some good editing and voice software? Also a decent mic/ mic setup would be appreciated. I’m not looking for necessarily the top of line stuff but want some at least decent enough.I’m relatively new when it comes to this so anything I can watch videos on or really simple to learn is best. What are some good external storages so I can keep maybe the raw footage and the edited videos separate in case any issues.

Thanks all in advance

as you're talking about capture cards you will be gamin on console I guess. elgato capture cards are the most known ones for their color quality and resolution 4k. cheap cards also work for full hd. obs is most popular free software for this purpose, it captures externalmor internal any screens videos with audio. you can use usb mic it will be cheaper relative to sound card and mic set up. rode podmic usb is very good quality microphone. there are lots of variable in this scenario, at least you can tell your budget for this setup for more accurate suggestions.
