Help M-Audio BX5 D2 or PreSonus Eris E4.5 or Alesis Elevate 5

[BourbonD6]

Hi,i need help with making my setup for listening music and relaxing. I will connect it to my PC. I can't decide between those 3 studio active monitors. And also i need DAC or audio interface. What do you recommend? My budget is 200-250$ for monitors,and 100-150$ for DAC or AI.

Since you are looking for actives, I'd recommend that you check out the JBL LSR305, you can get a pair for $250. If you decide to go with them, one option for a USB DAC would be the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 2nd Gen (which can be had at $150) as this DAC provides balanced TRS outputs though you don't necessarily need that.
