Oh and I forgot to ask:

I sometimes play the xbox one with friends. I was wondering if I could use the motherboard "on board audio" to give the "dolby headphone" virtual surround sound effect to my sennheiser pc360 headset or if I'll mandatorely need a soundcard for this (or external DAC amp) ??

Benchmark Scores Faster than yours... I'd bet on it. :)
Onboard sound is at least 5.1 etc... details found on the (any) webpage for the board.

Yes I looked up the gigabyte gaming ultra mobo x99 you recommended and it doesn't have an optical input for xbox one.

Anyhow I believe I found a solution to this. The astro mixamp.

it can, easily, which is the point. I won't do it and I'm all for buying what you need. ;)
I'm not sure to have got what you meant, so I beg your pardon if my comment won't properly apply (I'm not a native english speaker). BTW, I'd have liked to see (please take note, that's not a challenge, just a looking for knowledge) actual, good examples of gaming power draw substantially exceeding about 450W DC for such a rig (Core i5 up to ~4.7GHz + GTX1080 SLI up to ~2.1GHz): this was my point.

Well, I'm done, I wish you all have a nice time. :)
