I am all for gettng a the 770 but like i mentioned my main objective is to get the "best" spacial awareness when i am gaming in css. So i take it the 770 will be just as good if not better for sound position than the zalmans?

Yes, CMSS with Headphones on the X-Fi actually does a fairly decent added level of simulation on the pitch etc parts I was on about, although Stereo headphones that are decent give a good level of awareness anyway!
