It works, but I have some problems here.

You have a shytty SSD and a shytty hard drive in there to try and make it all work. Do you NEED 2TB to start with? My suggestion would be to drop the hard drive and replace the SSD with one of those nice Samsung 960 EVO/PRO or at the very least the M.2 WD Black SSDs. Storage is one of the easiest things to add to a PC and you want to start with the best boot drive possible. Trust me, you will not regret it.

I am not sure what is up with @2gunsup these days, but drop Windows 10 and contact him about it.

Can anyone recommend a god tier gaming headset? I’m willing to shell out some cash for the right thing

I was just playing overwatch another player had the most crisp voice (pause) I’ve ever heard. I want one with real noise cancellation, you can’t hear shyt in the background. Etc

Astro A50

I've had the A50s for years now. As long as you have dolby digital live codecs, you'll love them. The bass is amazing.

The mic quality is good on the A50s, but mediocre on the Asus ones.

You probably don’t have the Dolby digital live codec on your pc (very few mobo’s have that, but the consoles do for whatever reason). You will probably have to get a sound card. The sound blaster Omni select 5.1 is cheap and has Dolby Digital live. It’s an external sound card that you plug into your computer through usb. That’s what I’ve been using. Asus mobos don’t have Dolby digital live on any of their mobos, even the enthusiast ones. MSI might, I can’t remember. Gigabyte doesn’t have the codecs either I don’t think. Just look your mobo up.

Also you have to use an optical input.

The A50s sound amazing with the preamp and Dolby digital live. They sound mediocre without Dolby digital live. If you don’t have Dolby digital live, and are not going to buy a sound card, skip out on those.
