So I wanna buy a microphone, found an amazing one(Neewer Nw-800) and I have a dell Optiplex 9020 refurbished and modified, On my computer I have added 8 gb ram which makes it 16 gb ram ddr3 with a intel core i7 4790 and a 2tb hddall added with a gtx 1050 low profile (non t i) I have not upgraded my PSU so the 240watts it is!
I wanna buy the microphone and I don't have money(that's why I would have bought a more expensive pc,mic,everything)to spend on a phantom power supply or an adaptor(I'm only 13).
The microphone requires 5 volts and most people are saying I need an adaptor which is true, but I looked into some forums https://www.dell.com/support/manual...123572-8b34-4085-88ec-8633c66143ac&lang=en-us
and it says the audio card is 'two-channel High Definition Audio ' I look into that and on wikipedia(e veryone's most trusty website) and find that it in facts supports 5 volts https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_High_Definition_Audio.
What I wanna know is:
Can I just plug the mic in and it would work?
Would my pc explode because of something?
Would it cause explosions and [censored] ups because the audio thingy only supports 5 volts and the microphone needs 5 volts, I plug in headphones(uses usb) + the mic and my pc doesn't get raped?
and what is the best adaptor I can buy(my last resort)?
edit:OH WAIT
Im retarded, I literally have a sound card installed with the motherboard,but still probably should get one to make the audio better.
