[SOLVED] PC audio or video?

[web0623]

I have saved up some cash for an upgrade.
My current system is:
Ryzen 3700x
16 GB 3600 RAM
Corsair RM750x psu
RTX 2070
Steelseries Arctis Pro wireless headset
1440p ultrawide monitor 120Hz

I am wondering about opinions for upgrading the GPU or going with a high end audio headphone. I game, watch movies and listen to music with my PC. Most of my games are strategy like Civ EU4, HOI4 and Total War or MMOs like Elder Scrolls Online.

Both your video card and headset are fine, you don't like how the headphones sound? There is really nothing you need to upgrade unless you just want to spend your money. I guess a nice DAC/AMP and a headphone may be OK to get if you are not happy with how your headphones sound or if you want to try something different.

How high end are you talking about? $300 or $600+? AKG K712 PRO and a $150 or so DAC/AMP are in the $500 range, beyerdynamic DT 1990 Pro, beyerdynamic DT 1770 Pro for a closed set, beyerdynamic Amiron, Focal Elex https://drop.com/buy/massdrop-x-focal-elex-headphones another Drop copy of DT 1700 https://drop.com/buy/massdrop-x-beyerdynamic-dt177x-go-headphones

Can go for something cheaper but different from what you have, MASSDROP SENNHEISER HD 6XX, This DAC/AMP is interesting also along with the 6XX https://drop.com/buy/ifi-zen-can-signature-6xx-amp-drop-exclusive

With audio there is not just "better" but also different but still good. It's all a personal preference, there are dozens of good things to buy, some for several thousand, some for $100 and none of them would be a bad pick to get.
