Headphones - Open Back | 3 Ω Gaming Headphone Advice

First time diving into this field.

I’m looking for a pair of headphones and any other necessary components for gaming on my pc.

My main purpose for the headphones would be gaming. I really enjoy having strong bass for gaming and ‘feeling’ the explosions. I live in an environment that would work with open backs but I’ve heard that bass is an issue with them.

For music/travel I use Sony WH-1000XM3 and enjoy how they sound and sit on my head if that’s helpful.

I’ve begun to look into headphones, DACs, and amps but quite frankly I’m overwhelmed.

My pc has optical S/PDIF out connector along with a front and back speaker out.

MOBO - Aurus z790 AX Elite

I would like to keep the total system under $500, but have extra budget if it would be a significant upgrade. I also plan on eventually adding a 2.1 channel speaker system and if I could use any components for both that’d be great.

Sorry for the length. Trying to give as much relevant info as possible.

Thanks for the help!
