Spec me a gaming setup!!

[*Chris]

As title says really, budget is about £200 and must include sound card + headphones + amp if required (but 200 isnt really enough for all 3)

The headphones will be used mainly for gaming, and not bothered about how they look / any noise cancelling or w.e.
Have got a pair of razer barracudas but want to sell them as imo surround sound is just a gimmick.
Any help is much appreciated, cheers.

probably an x-fi + audio technica ATH-A500/700/900s will do you right

been hearing good things about the beyerdynamic 80ohm ones for gaming, any other recommendations? + Thanks

 

[d-cee]

yeah the beyerdynamic DT770/80 Pros are probably the ones you're talking about, but they need an amp

the A series audio technica headphones are considered excellent for gaming as well and don't necessarily need an amp

X-Fi (doesnt have to be a Fatality, the 64MB memory isnt needed), and either A900's or HD595

if you go to lan, or have noisy PC the A900 is a must

but its awkward using Ventrillo with closed cans i found

X-Fi + A900 and you're set for some pure ownage online.

another vote for x-fi + a900
