Gaming/youtube Headset usb or 3.5mm?

[simond1]

so i have a aorus ga-z270x-gaming 7 intel z270 motherboard and no soundcard, i've heard that the onboard sound card crackles a fair bit, for gaming and youtube videos would it be best to go for a usb or 3.5mm headset and why/whats the difference?

any usb headset recommendations?

Heard from cheap bottom of the line motherboard?
That Gigabyte motherboard has lot better than usual "marketing checklist/bulletpoint engineering" integrated sound card features, including good binaural simulation for headphones.

i saw that on most reviews that if i have a cpu water cooler running which i have (H100iv2) it distorts the sound and makes it crackle
yeah i noticed that most headsets are rather expensive, unfortunately i am not close enough to my desktop to have a desk mic, and due to using a 43" screen sitting close is not really an option
