A $4,000.00 Game

[ZERO]

Looks ok but that headset it a massive waste of money.

ok, i revised my shopping cart after some critical thinking! I have decided to go intel due to the fact that my budget can eat up the extra cost.

Here is what i have so far, please give some feed back regarding this build!

I agree with zero. If you're gonna spend that much on a headset you might as well buy a nice pair of headphones and a good desk mic

I personally have these: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and they are pretty fantastic.
If you do go with those you need an adapter to plug into the normal headphone jacks but they're pretty cheap: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

As for a mic I've heard nothing but good things about these: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...=ATVPDKIKX0DER

I have that, I love it.
Zero seems to hate it though because its digital....
Look its the best mic under 100 dollars. I dont care if you can (you cant) plug in a 1 dollar POS mic to a dac and get better sound. the price of a dac like that would be leaps and bounds more expensive and the POS mic would still sound bad.

seriously guys, the superlux 681b and the mod mic. amazing quality in both.

Sound quality: 9/10. Surround sound feature is very close to having a 7.1 setup, clarity is excellent and bass levels are surprisingly deep. Mic quality: 9/10. I've had folks say it sounds great and never had a complaint. The boom is a little large for my tastes, hence the one point deduction. Comfort level: 9/10. Pads fit perfectly over my ears and are close to noise cancelling - you don't want these if you need to hear what's going on around you while gaming! They're a bit bulky though, so minus one point. Wireless reliability: 8/10 Points deducted because 'power save mode' is annoying and is the default and because you will occasionally (once every five hours) lose signal for three seconds. Note, however, that if it's plugged in via USB, it works just like a wireless headset. Battery life: 10/10. I've had five hour gaming sessions and the battery barely went below half charge.

Side note, this set is on sale regularly for $80 and is well worth that price. Beats the overpriced $250 Turtle and other 'elite' brands in my opinion in terms of quality, making the value kind of staggering.

A decent DAC is already in your motherboard if it was made in the last 5 years for FREE

Given how much shit I know that thing will actually sound compared to what I am using if that is a 9/10 in sound quality than what do I have 50/10. This is a fucking joke, even what I have is maybe a 7.5/10 and that is when combined with a good DAC/AMP. A fucking wireless headset could not ever in a million fucking years be better than 2/10 then you get fake marketing bs tossed in within it your kidding me.

Also did I just hear better performance from head set driver updates!? Are you telling me that these things actually effect fps now!?

Zero most people dont buy 300 plus dollar mobo. Nearly all still use Reltek.
Hell all I have is a xonar DG and thats better then my p67 pro sound, and thats higher end then most people get.
A blue snowball is the best mic your going to find under 100 bucks.
