if your main priority is for the headphones the E10 will do.
The E7/E09k combo IS better but i dont think for you it is enough to warrant the upgrade given your circumstances.
Which just leaves.. Headphones.
Closed back and around ear is a bit difficult, Although i think perhaps something like the DT770 would do well. For gaming i would favour open 'phones due to greater soundstaging which opens up a whole world of possibilities.
Such as
AKG x70x series (fairly comfy and very good for positional ques)
beyer DT990 (VERY comfy, incredibly fun sounding and very decent in terms of positional ques and otherwise)
Senn HD598 or PC360 (if you want a headset, its basically a HD595 with a mic stuck on) Both here are also very comforable, the HD598 are almost as good as the AKG's technically but more comfy, and the PC360 is almost as good as the HD598, and just as comfy, and has a mic.
Hope i have helped.
