AD-700x is the best for gaming. You buy a pair of those plus a mod-mic and you are set for a long while. That should total somewhere in the range of $150 USD.

 

Edit: HD 558s are good too.

Here is there website. Come to think of it they may not ship outside the US. If that is the case a Blue desktop microphone is another great alternative.

Either go with Audio Technica ATH-AD700(X) or with Sennheiser PC360 (not the 350 model), they are pretty much top dogs in terms of gaming leaning towards the competitive side. For the immersive side the offer is far greater and depends strongly on your sonic signature preferences (as in, what kind of sound you enjoy the most).
