Headseat and mic for gaming for $100 -$120 usd

[chucknificent]

Hello all,
I just busted my gaming headset and have about $100-$120 to replace them. I have been reading about headset and mic setups being better than gaming headsets. I game (MMO, FPS, Fighting Games) and listen to music (House, Hip Hop, Rock). I really have only used gaming headsets, but am willing to try the headset+mic combo. However when it comes to headsets, I really have no idea what to choose. I have read all over the net and have succeeded in confusing myself or found answers that are over 2 years old. Any help and suggestions would be appreciated. I am limited by my budget. Thank you in advance.

Also, I'm more concerned with having the best headphones I can get rather than the best mic.

I would get Audio Technica M50s, they have great sound quality for the price. http/www.abricedesigns.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&language=1&products_id=357 This is the cheapest I can find them with about 30 seconds of Googling. For a mic, you don't need much unless you plan on recording or streaming, and even then http/www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16836501002 this should be plenty.
