And you say you'll help him out with another 400 bucks and then buy him the best budget headset made in the last couple of years, the Cooler Master MH751.

Geewiz has them listed as in stock at external supplier.

There will be no regrets spending a bit more and getting these instead of some budget brand.
 
In depth review of the MH751:

Seems really good.
I've also seen the GSP 300s for R1050 or so at Takealot, but they are out of stock there and 1400 at wootware which is probably pushing it a bit.

Decent sound quality and wireless too.

There are, you can look on youtube for headsets under $50 reviews as well as under $100. I quite like the hardware canucks reviews.

I prefer the sennheiser headphones as their response is typically pretty flat. I have the GSP 300 and 600 headsets. The 300s are great value and sometimes go for ~R1050.

I would be wary of 7.1 headphones. In any price range 8 cheaper drivers will always lose against 2 more expensive ones, and the positional audio doesn't work as well as it does with only software.

Wireless is nice, but again adds cost that isn't related to sound quality or comfort. The mic quality suffers as well. The difference between my GSP300s and my friends' expensive wireless sets is night and day.
They can stay on chat while going out for a smoke, taking a toilet break or cooking though, which I suppose is nice.

Great wireless gaming mouse for the price (R799). No frills though and some complain it is a bit small but its fine for me with big hands. It's not like a mobile mouse or anything just a bit smaller than the usual 'gaming' mice.

Looking for a new mouse as Makro just cancelled my order of the Razer Deathadder. Might give this a go but I see stock is low so might not be available

7.1 sound helps with FPS games. I tried these, razer Kraken and steelseries and audio-technica MSR7 for gaming.

7.1 headphones amplified the steps, bullet sounds and I could tell the direction of the enemy much better than non 7.1 headphones.
