Hey guys,
I recently got myself a new gaming PC for my little gaming room, and the fan noise is a bit of an issue.
Since I'm very paranoid about temps, I tweaked my afterburner fan profile in a way that my overclocked GPU does not exceed 75°C, however this pushes my fan speed to about 70%.
This is probably also due to me having the slightly strange combination of the tiny bitfenix phenom case and the Titan X graphics card (smaller cases have less of an ideal airflow).
Anyways, at the distance that I'm sitting away from the case (that is hooked up to my TV) the measured decibels range from 46-53, which is not a disaster, but it's very audible.
I was always able to zone it out in the past with other PCs that were much louder, but for some reason this has become more of an issue now.
So now I'm looking into closed headphones.
They don't have to be wireless, as I suppose I could use extensions, but I'd like to keep the room as neat as possibly.
TLDR:
These headphones will be used strictly for gaming, no films, music, etc.
Should I consider ANC at the 50db range, or should I just go for a decent closed back pair?
I was looking at the following models:
Asus ROG Vulcan Pro

This one has a built-in soundcard, and looks to be fairly appealing, anyone have any experience with those?
The Big Bad Bose

Overkill? Also keep in mind, I won't use them for music.
Sennheiser Momentum 2.0
http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00SUZVLAA
Overkill again? These look incredibly appealing. From the noise cancelling to the wirelessness. Would the Momentum 1.0 be worth considering?
These are all ANC headphones, as I'm not sure whether the passive noise cancelling would be enough, but hence my questions here.
Thanks very much for any potential advice.
