I want to buy a new microphone and probably some things like pop filters and whatever else but I have no clue what to get, I currently just use a Blue Snowball but I want to upgrade a bit. What does everyone here think I should get and what is the best microphone and other parts I can get?

There are loads of things to upgrade to. I would suggest something like an AT-2020 USB Mic. If you want to get even better quality try out the XLR version with a Mixer. It will cost more but in the end the quality is night and day.

AT-2020 will give you a lot better quality than the snowball and isn't too expensive, one of the best for it's price range and really no need to go any more expensive just for YouTube.

It all depends on your budget. I think the Blue Snowball is a great option but if you want to spend a little extra then look no further than the Blue Yeti. I use the Blue Yeti and it works amazing!

My set up is RODE NT1-A + M-Audio Mobile pre Mk1 Audio interface, crystal clear sound even though the Audio interface is quite old and only just up for the task of driving the NT1-A, A good audio interface that I've had the pleasure of using for a while is the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2, or the cheaper option of the Scarlett Solo is another good choice.

I can't offer advice on USB mics since I've never used one (Excluding gaming headsets that use usb only)

I use a Blue Yeti, which I think is pretty great for YouTube and are cherished by many large YouTubers.
It also depends heavily on how much you can spend, but the Yeti will be the next step up.

I have a blue snowball as well, seems like a lot of people here have it. Personally I want to upgrade to something better.
I would say AT2020 or get a mixer type microphone

check out sennhieser headsets m8, i have one, its audio sounds great, it came with its own sound card, and the headsets mic is awesome, it just needs a pop filter. definitely would reccomend

I Can't recommend the Blue Yeti enough, head over to my channel and check out some of the videos if you would like an audio sample, I've also owned the Razer Serien and that is a great mic too, but it's slightly less Bassier than the Yeti, so I would reccomend the Yeti over the Serien.
