The best solution for gaming and audio today is a great audiophile grade pair of headphones and an antlion modic attached to it. I always recomend a pair of Beyers dt770 pro 80ohm with the modmic antlion uni. Best cheapest audio IMO for a gamer. And let's talk about surround sound. Virtual surround sound emulates a room with 7 speakers and a subwoofer. Now this works well only if you have a good DAC or soundcard or whatever. With the little onboard usb soundcard on the headphones are trash. What you could use is the built in surround virtualization in realtek hd audio software. I'd like to know your pc motherboard. IF you have a modern one it should have pretty good dac already. Like the ALC1220 or something similar. Then you are fine but older mobos have a bad dac. So virtual surround sound is trash for audio quality unless you got a good DAC that can actually deliver it.
My best advice is to save up and not go on a budget because you really want to treat your ears. Also forget about RGB and looks in audio gear. Focuses on the wrong things.

please try to save up for it then. It is really worth it. Also if you can't afford the mic then use your old headset as a mic. That works aswell. I could also recommend hyperX cloud 2 or alpha. They are a good option for a budget.

Anyways. I saw your PC specs and it seems to be good on the DAC chip side atleast. My final answer is the cloud 2. Also if you buy them. Don't use the surround feature. Which is the cable with the USB on it. The realtek software handles it better.
