But I can also not spend $500-1000 more than I would with an msi or dell xps just so I can get the apple logo on my laptop.

I can't stand MacOS, but thanks for the suggestion

Going to college and need suggestions for laptops that I should purchase. I would like to keep it under $2000 so keep that in mind. I want a laptop with a 4k resolution and an i7, and I'm going to bring my desktop with me so the laptop doesn't need a 1080 or anything crazy. Need something where I can do school work and watch movies, but also play some games if I don't feel like sitting at a desk.

Depends on the headphones.

For 250ohm headphones you are going to want to buy an amp, otherwise why would you buy them if you know they won't reach their full potential without an amp. I understand that onboard will power them, but the experience won't be as good as it could have been with an amp.

Beyerdynamic DT990(really any good HEADPHONES will work) + antlion modmic > Any "gaming headset" Of course you will need an amp to power the DT990's if you were to buy the 250 ohm version. I would ask around about what people use for an amp, but Fii0 and schiit make really good products. Beyerdynamic DT990- https://www.amazon.com/Beyerdynamic-DT990-PRO-250ohm-Straight/dp/B010IJ9W1U/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1487199546&sr=8-2&keywords=dt990 FiiO e10k- https://www.amazon.com/FiiO-E10K-Headphone-Amplifier-Black/dp/B00LP3AMC2/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1487199503&sr=1-1&keywords=FiiO+e10k Schiit Magni 2- http://schiit.com/products/magni-2 Modmic 5- https://www.amazon.com/Antlion-Audio-Modular-Attachable-Microphone/dp/B01MCYRKY3/ref=sr_1_1?s=aht&ie=UTF8&qid=1487199618&sr=1-1&keywords=modmic+5 A1 setup right there. Either of those amps will do for the DT990's, so its personal preference but I would go with the Schiit Magni 2.

Thank you!

This is what I meant by my decision to get 250 ohm, just need to know what headphones would be the best option.

I've had the Sennheiser HD598's for awhile now, and I really like them but I want to buy something that has a little more bass because the lows on the 598's are not as good as I would like them to be. I want to spend under $200, and I'm leaning towards Beyerdynamic right now, but I'm not sure if I should buy the dt 770, 880, or 990 pro (250 ohm b/c I have a dac/amp). I'm open to any suggestions, and I want headphones that are going to be comfortable for long listening sessions and to play games like CS:GO. Thanks for the help!

You're probably right.

I would sell my 970. Not going to pay $300 when I could sell it and only pay $100 for one/two cards that would perform better.

This is what I wanted to hear. Thank you!

Obviously I'm going to wait until more benchmarks are released.
