I've been lurking around a bit reading and looking at the wiki and reviews, great job to everyone on the site!
I have never owned any quality headphones, nor do I know too much about them, which is why I'm posting here with a few questions.
I will primarily be using them through my computer. I do not have a sound card, and these are the specs my motherboard has for 'audio' if it helps at all.
1)Knowing this would it be necessary to buy an audio card?
Here's some stuff I listen to

Indie rock, Experimental (Hip Hop), Electronic, etc
Amps?
I hear a lot of mixed things about them, I know it sort of depends on the source of my music and what headphones I choose, so maybe this question can be answered later.
I'm looking to spend a MAX of around $80 on the headphones.
I did some mild research, and Sennheiser HD 555s are looking good to me:

Would these be appropriate for what I listen do, and a good product for the price?
Suggestions greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
