Which of these headphones...

...to choose for just purely for gaming. Music doesn't matter, I just want best positional audio and gaming performance I can get.

Okay, here is the contestants:

AKG K272 HD 129,90€
Steelseries 7H 88,90€
Steelseries Siberia v2 63,90€
Razer Megalodon 129,90€
Sennheiser HD 449 98,90€

Sennheiser HD 515 82,90€
Sennheiser PC 350 173,90€ (Pretty expensive, don't know if I want to spend this much on headphones)
Beyerdynamic DT 440 128,90 €

You can tell your own option but I can tell you I won't go for expensive headphones since I have limited amount of money.

These are pretty much what I can afford and I can get, so remember I need headphones just for gaming, anything else doesn't matter.
I have some crappy integrated soundcard so these cans should give a good performance even without amping and good soundcard.

As a additional question is there any good cheap soundcards that will increase headphones performance?

This is all, I hope head-fi community can help me with this problem I have been suffering for a long time, deciding good gaming headphones.

Steelseries has a very divided reputation, where some say they are amazing and others (usually those with more experience) say that they're shoddy in build quality and sound quality. I'd recommend the Sennheisers, but you said they're pricier than you want to pay.

 

As for a sound card, Asus Xonar cards are usually pretty nice. However, I'm not all that qualified to speak about sound cards as I've not owned many.
