Yes your board will support the 7.1 head set you will get the drivers of the particular headset what you buy with the box but you can also download it separately from online kraken pro has mixed reviews about sound quality so if i were you i would go with vengeance 2100.

first - for music - for the same price - 2.1 is always better. because there is no way in nine hells you could have the same quality for 8 pieces of hardware /7.1/ as you can have for 3 /2.1/.

second - nearly all gaming headphones are pure crap. there are some exceptions and they start with pc360 around $150.

third - stay away from usb headphones - they are utter overpriced crap.

fourth - same goes with 7.1, 5.1 and any other surround crap. unless they have a separate driver per each channel /and they do not, save few exceptions/ you will be getting the same overpriced crap even more overpriced because of the software surround any decent sound card can do for free.

recommended>
cheap clip-on mike for $10
+ pick one>
- creative aurvana live
- alienware ozma5 /from ebay, because they are harder to get/
- grado sr80i /if you like rock/
- sony mdr-xb series /if you like bass/
- ultrasone /for electronica/
