Amp for HyperX Cloud gaming headset?

[chrvontab]

Hi

I am thinking about buying a new headset. I was considering the HyperX Cloud or Razer Kraken 7.1 Chroma. If i bought the HyperX Cloud (which i am leaning to) would i need an external amp. to get the full potential of the increased power consumtion, 60 ohm (or whatever i don't really know a lot about that)? My motherboard is the MSI GAMING 5 Motherboard, and i don't think i would need a soundcard since the integrated one is ok i guess.

I have the Sony Wireless Stereo Headset (Pulse) that i bought for my PS3 a while ago, but since i switched to PC i wanted to get myself a new one. Link to PS3 headset: http://us.playstation.com/ps3/accessories/pulse-wireless-stereo-headset-ps3.html . It's 7.1 Virtual SS on PS3 and Stereo on PC (it's a bit creaky). I know the Cloud is Stereo and there is a Cloud 2 with 7.1, but it's a little over my bugdet + it's not really available in my country.

What would your suggestions be, and would i need extra power from an amp with the Cloud?

Thanks in advance!

60 ohm will work fine off a standard headphone jack.

Neat looking amp - http://www.silverstonetek.com/product.php?pid=444&area=en

Hi,
With ALC 1150, headphone amplifiers are integrated at three analog output ports (if using the back audio ports).
