You guys have been very helpful, thank you. Last question before I place an order and again this is strictly for gaming...Beyerdynamic MMX300 or Sennheiser HD600? They're both the same price. The MMX 300 comes with a mic but I don't care about that! I only care about sound quality.

If there's something I learned from building computers is that you get what you pay for and that its always better to do it right the first time! So I think I'm going with a good quality sound card and a pair of Sennheiser HD 598! Is the Sound Blaster Z purpleangel recommended good? I thought...

I'm no audiophile so I know nothing about DAC and amps lol

Yes I play a lot of FPS and also play horror games, and sound is a big part of those game genres.

Like the title says I'm looking for the best sound solution for my PC! Whether it's a high end headphone, sound card, combination of both, etc! Budget is $450! I have been recommended a sound card with the Sennheiser HD 598! Is this the best under $450 or is there something better??? I use my PC...
