Recommendations for Audio

I recently built a new PC inside a prodigy so I don't have any expansion slots left.

I never really invested into audio gear as I am a first time builder. 

I currently use apple ear buds and on board audio. 

I can't stand the buzzing/humming noise. It has come to the point where I can't stand it anymore.

 

I have a budget of about a 100 dollars.

I really don't care about game audio as I mainly mute most of the game except for certain parts like voices.

I mainly listen to jazz but also classical.

What recommendations can you guys give me?

Jazz and classical? you'd want a pair a speakers man!

For what you listen to I'd recommend something with a lot of drive, but that won't fit in your budget very easily. Maybe go for a pair of Fostex TH-5s I'm not sure how much your on board audio can drive, so 44ohm headphones might still be too much.

Does anyone even use PCIe SSDs?

Assuming you're in 'Murica, the Pioneer SE-A1000 is cheap and good.

Unless you have an Auditory processing disorder. In which case it is random noise that tears at the uniformity of notational cohesion. :ph34r:

Grammar and spelling is not indicative of intelligence/knowledge.  Not having the same opinion does not always mean lack of understanding.
