First of all you should give us a budget. You have to do some research online to find the differences and then we can explain them to you. Besides you should always pick headphones and then an amplifier not the other way around.

Do you want closed or open back?? If you want open you can try HD650 and HiFiMan HE400S. Closed doesn't have as many headphone options but Fostex makes some good options.

What about Sennheiser GSX 1000 audio amplifier and HD599?

For 400$ you should get a much better pair of headphones. And besides even a small 50$ amplifier will suffice for 400$ spend the rest on headphones. The GSX1000 are not recommended at all by anyone because its more focused on gaming features and doesn't have enough power to drive proper headphones. You can get much better quality by looking at other brands. Getting equally priced amps and headphones aren't recommended for low budget.

Options are HD6XX, AKG K7XX, HiFiMan HE400S and ATH AD series. I suggest you make a new pot asking for 400$ Headphones plus amp.

Yes but the K7XX and the AD series are great for most open worlds and FPS gaming. Besides how can they be had for free??

If you are just getting a PC upgrade that first and just get Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro 80 Ohm (closed back) or HD58X from Massdrop (open back) or ATH AD700X (open back).All of them are great for gaming and audio in general. Use the rest of your money for your build then focus on better audio.

I am good with close back.

Closed means more noise isolation, lesser soundstage in games particularly noticeable and less ventilation for ears.

Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro 80 Ohms is your best option for around 140$. No amp or DAC needed.

HD 58X is from Sennheiser but it is a collaboration between them and Massdrop you can find it on massdrop,com but you will find it available only sometimes but it is still a great bargain for the price. Sennheiser isn't recommended for closed backs.

GX1000 won't improve sound quality but it does offer virtualization and surround sound which can be a hit or miss depending on games. How much is the bundle??
