In terms of the keyboard I would say I would be more okay with spending that amount of money on a full mechanical keyboard. Spending 80+ dollars on just another regular gaming keyboard doesn't fit with me.

Also, unless you are getting powerdvd ultra or something similar to that you won't be able to watch blu ray movies in playback.

I'm curious however have you thought about perhaps building a machine of your own? Reason I ask is you made it here on the forums you are asking technical questions regarding a computers spec sheet. One would think you would have what it takes to make one of your own.

reasonably fair, although that cooling system is unneccesary for a non overclocked processor. And will require maintenence.

Any savings from that Id recommend putting in the motherboard area as the pro3 is rather simplistic and has a highly limited upgrade path.
