$550 and will run 1080p perfectly and probably have no issues with many games at 1440p if its not a new AAA title especially shooters using competitive settings.

Just a few short months ago the gpu by itself would have cost more than this entire system.

CPU- i5-7400 (3.ghz)
GPU- GeForce GTX 1060 6gb (the best thing i could fit given my power supply only had one power hookup for it and the better ones require 2)
Memory- 16gb
(though i do often run 2 screens and one might be running youtube music playlist or something while i play MWO)
not certain what the specs are on my power supply as its a mess back beind there and a pain to get the tower out to look at it

edit; just realized thats still a four core no hyperthreading cpu. It would still benefit from a better gpu but its going to be limiting in the very newest games as they tend to want at least six cores. If your memory is ddr4 then all you would need is the cpu and mobo I linked(currently as prices will change over time so might be better deals later) as all the rest should slot right in. Then you could wait to get a better gpu later.

also seeing as my TV (the screen i play on since its bigger) is only 780p or something like that anything more is sort of redundant. (my monitor is a little better but only by one or two steps but its smaller.) i'll upgrade my TV when the one i have stops working

You should be able to use any USB device with just the USB.
Look at what you're buying, it'll tell you whether or not it has 3.5 jacks, usb, or sometimes both.
If you want it to be easy and just work decently, I think a USB headset is the best way to go.

USB sets have their own audio circuitry built in that uses the cpu as the dac so you don't need a sound card or on board sound but even the highest end usb set won't be as good as a cheapish studio set with a high impedance running off a quality sound card. But Knownswift is correct if your current usb set has good enough quality then might as well just get another for the simplicity. I'm a stickler for high end audio so I've always went with sound card and analog studio set.

Yep "gaming" products cost a lot more than good guality headphones and still way worse, specially mic part.
Used to have wired modmic with sennheisers and worked very well.

IMHO you cannot go wrong with buying a Sennheiser, quality over quantity.

People do tend to gravitate toward 'gamer' garbage, which lasts a few years and then the connections break. Headphones are one of those areas where it really is worth it to invest a bit more. Also one should keep in mind that they will want an amplifier to properly drive a quality set of cans, but even with low impedence headphones, it is possible to get some astonishingly (relatively speaking) good quality sound compared to what your usual rgb/cat-ears shite puts out.
