XLR Microphone+Audio interface choices

So, I'm upgrading from an Aokeo AK60 and I wanted to go towards something like an XLR microphone, something like this FIFINE XLR Microphone and this audio interface, I don't know if they're a good pair or if they're a good option in general, but it'd be me going from a $40 microphone setup to a $130 one (minus the XLR cable as I don't believe neither the microphone nor the audio interface comes with one).

Also I stream, voice over, game, and use it for everyday things like discord calls. are these 2 a good pair?

There’s this magical place where you can find all you need to make your business communications work together in harmony. Sort of like when everyone lights their phones up at the same time during a concert and it looks like fireflies dancing in the air. Kinda like that but for business.

Please don't do it, I don't know who recommended those two pieces of junk to you, but I assure you that you would regret the purchase in no time. As an interface I recommend the Focusrite Vocaster One (now on offer) since you don't need to record musical instruments but only microphones, and as a microphone anything from the brands dedicated to microphones (Rode, Audio tecnica, Stellar, Shure, Behringer, Thomann t-Bone, etc., the important thing is that it is not FiFine, Tonor, or Trust and other brands that sell junk for €20,

I’m very new to XLR microphones, no one recommended the mic and interface to me, I just looked for ones that looked good, I am very glad I asked before purchasing though. Do you have any recommendations for microphones/microphone brands for said company that I should look at?

Those are not great choices, particularly the “interface”.

If you’re really scrimping on money, Good cheap mics include the Behringer XM8500, the Zoom ZDM-1 and the Fifine K669D. Decent budget interfaces include the Behringer UMC22 or the M Audio M-Track Solo. (If you really need to cheap out, try the Teyun Q12 on Amazon or any generic version of this on Ali Express.) I have used all of these and they’re ok.

I’ll look into them, I do also want to say that the interface can’t be too big as I don’t have much desk space
