MrAtreyuIt really depends if you have a current setup or not. If you'd be willing to game only on pc a sound card upgrade would be enough. If you want to go all out, an amp/dac combo would be great. This way you can upgrade to higher impedance headphones. This currently is 50 ohms, so it's not hard to run. Setting up a preamp is another story.
Some nice starter gear would be a Schiit stack. The modi/Magni. Basically dac play with analog and digital signals, converting them while the amp- amplifies the current going through. Basically you get more headroom -depth, dynamics, volume, bass. With these, it's not needed though. They're easier to run than others. If you're going to use the mic though, a sound card for your PC is the best option. It's easy to plug and play. If you're going to get other headphones, get a dac and amp that you'd be content with for a long time. It really is a rabbit hole, once you get a taste of sound as it should be, you'll grin and open up that wallet.
Forgive any typos. My iPhone really hates MD'S site.

MrAtreyuI can't reply with a sound card, sorry. I haven't looked into them at all. I know they've come a long way, but you'd have to do a lot of research on that and your motherboard. Together they might have great synergy, or just lag/have a ton of noise.
The route I went was with a creative X7 LE. Massdrop or the creative site might still have a sale going on, but it's like $349 for that.

I'm new to the audio world and massdrop. If you have the time to spare, I'd like some advice. Would the pc37x need a preamp and/or DAC to work well? If so (or other gear), what would I need to get.
I'm happy to buy something that will be useful for higher impedance headphones as well as for this headset.
Thank you!
