Logitech G430 headset is good. It's what i'm running right now and features surround sound functions and handy software that can be used to adjust most settings. Also, I wouldn't get a soundcard if your board has built in sound. And if your stuck on it get a soundblaster from best buy. Also the G430 headset can be found at bestbuy for less then $100
