Hi,
I am planning on getting a new headphone setup for my computer, specs for pc as follows(just fyi):
Corsair AX1200 PSU
3770K @ 4.5GHZ with H100 4x gentle Typhoons in push/pull
Gigabyte Titan X 1400/8000
Samsung 830 256gb SSD
Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UP7 Motherboard
Corsair Dominator Platinum 2133 MHZ 16GB DDR3 Ram
Win 7 64 bit
NZXT Switch 810 Case In White
Acer XB270HU
Logitech 5.1 surround.
First off, i have done a fair bit of research, and come to what i think is a good decision, but i need help from you guys with a lot more experience in this area before handing over the spondoolies.
Recently, my wife and i had our first child, so i have to focus more on using heaphones while on my pc now, instead of my mediocre 5.1 setup(Logitech Z906).
I currently have a set of Logitech G930's, which i use for gaming and music, these are constantly cutting out and the quality of sound is not that great, so i would like to upgrade.
What i plan on doing with my new setup:
-Playing games
-Watching HD Youtube video's
-Listening to FLAC and 320kbps MP3's(mostly FLAC)
I understand going this route, i will need an external microphone for gaming, which is ok i can handle that.(modmic?)
I like loud music, and good bass(beverages inc.) and good quality sound from my games.
I am aware i am trying to use the same set of headphones for two different purposes, but this is what i require, and would like the best middle ground for the two.
Split for PC time is probably Gaming 75% and Music 25%
What i plan on purchasing:
Cans:

Amp:

DAC:

What do you guys think?
I would rather spend a bit more for lasting quality for the cans, rather than go the 598's or something like that i think.
I have read the HD650's aren't the best for gaming, but like i said, i need to be able to do both with this setup.
Any help/input will be much appreciated, and thank you for spending the time to read this thread.
