Hi guys, I'll start saying that my english is quite bad, so please excuse me.
I'd like to build a LP setup, for 400-500€ (or $, the exchange rate is 1 to 1 for tech), for headphones, for now i'm not interested in speakers. 
I have the Audio-Technica M50X and the Philips Fidelio X2.
I need a turntable, and an amplifier (and maybe a phono preamp if not integrated) that preferably is also a DAC.
 
For now, my choices are:
Turntable : Pro-ject Essential II (220€)
Phono preamp : Audio-Technica AT-PEQ3 (70€)
Amp : Topping TP30 Mark II (85€)
 
I'm using most of my budget on the turntable becouse I don't want to upgrade it, but I don't know if it is the right thing to do.
Do you think that I should buy a separate DAC? Or an ampli with an integrated phono stage? 
 
I have no experience in this field, so I'm open to any suggestion.

If you are planning on using the turntable as your source, why do you need the DAC? Do you also plan to use your PC as a source?

If you are not interested in speakers, then you do not need the Topping amp, you just need a headphone amp.

How about something like this? I think this, plus the turntable, would accomplish everything for $100.
