Setup for working at dorm

Hello TB, i posted a thread about Hartke VXL and noticed that i wont run with my headphones. So i need alternatives. I'm currently using guitar rig 5 but it does not satisfy me enough. What can i do? Should a buy vox headphones amps, or small vox amps or usb sound cards and guitar rig or anything else? I'll generally use headphones, but our band thinking some live performances at future, so i'll use it at gigs.(i'm thinking i can carry my laptop for it)
We're also gigging regularly, anything i can bring there will be better. I'm also thinking a mini mixer+hartke vxl if it works.
