1 Headset on 2 Computers same time? Audio interface? + more

- Intro
So because i have more monitors than gpu cable ports i decided to use my second computer on my last monitor since its only gona be used for youtube anyway.
And then i need the sound from that pc in my headphones aswell so i need to figure out how to do this...


I tried researching and from what i understand i need a mixer (i barely know what a mixer is, or anything audio for that matter)

- What i want to do: 
From what i described above the main goal is to get the headphones working on 2 pcs same time but...
Im thinking of buying the Beyerdynamic - DT 1770 PRO Headphones which is 250ohm so ill need a amp i guess.
Also im going to get a shotgun mic around 100$, I didnt decide which one yet. Idk if it matters either but good to know i guess.

So far i found something i like and wondering is this something i can use and which version of it if so : 
https://www.amazon.com/Focusrite-Scarlett-Audio-Interface-Tools/dp/B01E6T50LY/?th=1

- Price I have no idea how much whatever i need is gona cost but i guess im happy if its below 500$ but ill need to pay what i need to pay i guess
Other noteable preferences: I like things that look good (example link above)


- Progress so far: 
Well ill try a cable but if anyone else got different or additional info ill be happy to hear it to get a better understanding

You'd need an audio interface with a direct passthrough / monitoring function. 

 

Or this:

Right so how do i know what has that direct passthrough thing tho? cant find anything from searching the words u gave me :\
would help if u can link me something u mean so i can compare to try to understand whatever this is



btw someone somewhere in a thread said that cable thing u showin may break the soundcards in both pcs over time or something and said to get a mixer instead.

You can get the sound from pc 2 to pc 1 with a male to male 3,5mm stereo cable. (connect pc 2 speaker output to pc 1 line input, and enable listen to this device in windows sound settings)
You could also use splitter.

An amp is recommended for 250 ohm headphones.

That mixer you linked is suitable for use with most microphones, if you want to save some money you can get the solo model.
