Remove the SSD if you don't want it and sub it for a set of Audio-Technica ATH-AD700's, can get them for $129 on ebay and then buy a Logitech USB Desktop Mic for about $30.

Don't know about the Astro mixamp, but apparently that sound card I put in is one of the best for the price afaik.

Also, get Karma to build it for you
