Hi there! I have a budget of $100 to spend on my audio setup for streaming. I can either buy a headset with built in mic or I can get a desktop mic and a headset.

I was looking at this : https://www.amazon.com/Microphone-Condenser-Recording-Streaming-669B/dp/B06XCKGLTP/ as my desktop mic, the reviews seem pretty good. That leaves about $70 for my headset. I am currently using a cheap SADES gaming headset with mic and its not good at all. I mean what else was I expecting at $22?

If you can bump it to $120 get the Massdrop x Sennheiser PC37X. It's a revised PC373D. Or you could get the actual PC373D which includes a USB soundcard for virtual 7.1. The PC37X is just stereo but it would be my choice of the 2. Your motherboard likely has virtual surround and the PC37X has better audio and a better mic. Just check out the reviews.

The 373D.
