A: PC350 with Xonar Sense
B: PC360 with Xonar DG
C: Corsair Vegeance 1300 with Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium 7.1

my budget is £180 max (cant go over budget at all), and I would appreciate if people helped out with ideas too as Im not good with audio things... Thanks.

Option A. Followed by Option B.

Its my first time investing into audio, 80% of the time i will be using these for gaming, mainly fps and rts. will option B be a good combination and be under budget?

Option A, is best choice IMO.

The Xonar Xense is a much better card than the DG. For 7x the cost of the DG, it ought to be.

Both PC350's and 360's on their own are overpriced for what they are IMO. At least with the Xense, you are getting the 350's for a more reasonable price.

The 360's + Xonar DG are about £155, that's only £25 cheaper than the Xense + 350's.

With the Xense, you are getting a £140 sound card, and an overpriced headset for considerably cheaper.

With the 360's + DG, you are getting an overpriced headset and a £20 sound card.

I know which I'd go for if I had to choose between the two.

I read around the subject and read that the Razer Carcharias is pretty much on par with the higher end headphone/sets. Can anyone shed some light to this? If they are really taht good, what sound card will be a good combination?
