Hello, I recently build a very low budget PC a couple a months ago for very light gaming. It has a A6 5400k CPU, 4GB of DDR3 1600 ram and a CX 430 PSU. For my 16th birthday, my mom gave 200ish dollars to spend on whatever I need. I have been somewhat satisfied with the A6, Skyrim on medium-high setting 30-40 FPS, etc. However, I've been distancing myself away from AAA titles lately. Although this may change soon since I'm starting to feel less tired playing these games. But there is one game that I've particularly taken a liking to; "osu!". From my experience with the game, using my basic eMachines rubber dome keyboard isn't fast enough. When I would click to the speed in short periods of time, half of the time it doesn't even recognize the input Z and X simultaneously. I'm also getting into programming. I have been debating if I should shell out 1/4 of my cash for a back-lit Cherry MX keyboard. This could easily go up to $100. I was hoping to get the R7 260x and a X4 FM2 CPU, but I also considered one of the A10 5800k and a basic mechanical keyboard with Browns.

I wish there were a way I could properly upgrade my system as well as switch over to mechanical. Is there some possible way to achieve all three while maintaining my budget? I don't think my mom will mind if it's a couple dollars over the limit...I think :??:  .
