So i have this Motherboard:
Gigabyte Z170x gaming g3
Unescessary info between those 2 lines:
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Currently i am using my 2-3 year old logitech g35 7.1 gimmicky usb gaming headset.
All i do, is put them through my MOBO's USB DAC-UP (Supposedly it improves their quality, can't personally tell the difference from the USB DAC-UP compared to a normal USB 1.0 , 2.0, 3.0)
Then i install the logitech g35 software and tweak some stuff on the equalizer and still sound shit at the end of the day no matter what i try and get to work with.
So i am intrested in buying Sennheiser G4ME One after having seen hundreds of HardwareCannucks reviews and metntions of them of how impressive their sound is, how comfortable they are and how they satisfy all of a gamer's needs as far as sound,comfort and mic quality goes.

With that said, my MOBO is using this soundcard:
Realtek ALC1150 115dB SNR HD Audio
You can check it out on it's website:
http
/www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=5497#ov
As you can see from the website it has these feutures:
- High end, Japanese branded Nichicon audio capacitors
- GIGABYTE Exclusive : Upgradable OP-AMP
- 115dB SNR HD Audio with Built-in Rear Audio Amplifier
- Exclusive onboard 'Gain Boost' selector switches
+ Select either standard 2.5x or high-amplification 6x mode.
+ 6x mode is ideal for high impedance speakers and headphones

Now, with the specs out of the way, here is my question and purpose of this post:
Will this Sound Card/ Built in AMP bring out the best out of my future owned SENNHEISER G4ME ONE or will i need an AMP?
If i do get an AMP will that AMP make a difference if it's some low budget amp (in the range of 50-100 euros) ?
I am no Audiophile and no expert on how amps and audio frequencies or specs really work.
But i am not a complete noob either.
So i want to be more than just satisfied when i use my Sennheiser G4ME One, will i bring out a full utilization or a close to a full utilization with my MOBO's sound card and built in amps etc? Or will i need something else that will have a night and day difference?
