Didn't have a mic or a good webcam (was needing both of these for college anyway), and I'm streaming from a MacBook Pro rather than a gaming PC so this is what I bought:
Blue Yeti Nano microphone £99.99 - piece of piss to set up and works perfectly on consoles too for voice chat
Microphone arm stand £29.99 - didn't want the mic sitting on my desk with the included stand where it would pick up typing and clicks, so got this so it can be easily adjusted and moved out the way when not in use. Comes with a pop filter and foam tip which was handy.
Elgato HD60 S+ capture card £169.99 - used to capture the HDMI output from my PS4 and Switch on my MacBook so I can stream it. Went with this version rather than the HD60 S since it captures audio easier on MacOS without pissing about with installing extra software.
Razer Kiyo webcam £119 - built in ring light really helps since the lighting in this room isn't the best.
OBS Studio - to stream to Twitch. It's free.
