Headphone & Microphone advice needed

[Smaste]

Hello,

right of the bat I'm looking for hardware which is better for gaming and communication over skype etc.

I'm looking to get the Asus Phoebus or the Xonar Essence sound card. I'd like to get the DT770 Pro but I'd then need a microphone to go with it, I like the look of something like the Blue Yeti, however it's USB which would render the Phoebus control pod's noise cancellation pretty useless, so with I'd just get the Xonar Essence for that.

Maybe there are different products I don't know about that you guys could recommend?

Noise cancellation would be great, my PC is in the living room and the fans on full power do generate some noise (but not too much).

If you're set on getting the DT770 Pros, I'd get a ModMic 3.0. Has noise cancellation and works well with the Asus Phoebus or Xonar Essence. Here you go: http://www.modmic.com/blogs/news/7590731-3-0-compatibility-log-and-pilot-program

MY setup is DT 770 > Fiio E10 + Blue Yeti. I would recommend this because the E10 is pretty cheap and is amazing for what you pay for. It is small and I consider it portable as well. I also love the lineout port in the back and the bass boost for headphones. You will love this with your DT 770 80ohm.
