Honestly I would definitely change the keyboard. I could not take my K95 Keyboard from Corsair and am now in the process of shipping it back and getting a refund because of dead LEDs. I had it for eight months or so before getting a dead LED. Contacted them and I had to pay roughly $30 in shipping costs to ship the entire package with insurance and signature confirmation. It took me about a month to get my replacement in the mail and I had it for three days before getting dead LEDs. Since I refuse to continuously pay $30 over and over again for a product that should not have those issues, I requested a refund and just got my approval today.

That aside, did you consider going with Intel LGA 1150 socket instead of AMD? Just asking because I have not heard anything about the next generation of AMD CPUs, and at least you would be able to upgrade to plenty of CPUs that fit the LGA 1150 socket for this generation and next generation Intel CPUs. Of course to each their own. I would also suggest you go with two RAM modules rather than a single 8 GB module. And you may want to consider upping your PSU to 600 Watts which is generally the starting point in my opinion for gaming builds. That way you leave some extra room for future upgrades with decreasing the chances of having to replace the PSU if you decided to upgrade.

You may want to consider getting a normal ATX board unless you have a significantly smaller case.

You can also get a decent gaming rig at 400$. There were many youtube videos for 400$ gaming rig.

I know it is a bit more expensive. We could shave some costs but this will get you a much better system and worth the cost difference.
