They're all the same link. 

 

Also, if nothing is wrong with your motherboard, chances are a dac/amp won't make a difference. 

My personal rig - 4790k 4.8Ghz, Asus Z97 Pro (wi-fi ac), Corsair Dominator Plat 4x8GB, SLI GTX 1080 TI FE, Samsung 850 Evo 1TB, Crucial MX100 512GB, EVGA G3 1000W, and cooled by a hardline liquid cooling loop.

DT880's are pretty flat and analytical, but they're pretty decent for gaming yes.

They should be alright for gaming, but an open headpone with a wide soundstage could be even better, like the Sennheiser HD558, or Audio-Technica ATH-AD700X (sucks for music though, no bass) and those definately don't need an amp.

Reviews: JBL J33i   M50s   SRH440   Soundmagic PL50
