amp recomendations for hd 558

I recently bought a pair of sennheiser hd 558s and an asus dsx soundcard, however I rently found out that because of the size of my video card I won't be able to use my soundcard as it takes the same spot as my wireless card. My question is, what are some good headphone amps aound a 50 dollar price point that could bring my new headphones to their full potential?

I would recommend the Audinst HUD mini it has stereo DAC which may come in handy if you ever purchase a stereo.I would also advise you to take a look at fiio e10 DAC.Both of them are very good value,fyi at your budget you can't go for amp alone because the dac inside your pc is still bad so an amp would not be of any use.What you need is a DAC with integrated headphone amp like Fiio E10 which is way better than soundcard.If you want to future proof then i would advice you to go for Schiit magni+modi combo
