i would like some advice for what components to choose in my origin genesis and also some advice for accessories

i will be using it for gaming

this is the current specs of it:
ORIGIN High-Performance Ultra Silent Fans- Black - Extreme Cooling Setup
ORIGIN FROSTBYTE 360 Sealed Liquid Cooling Systems
ASUS Maximus VII Ranger Motherboard
Intel Core i7 4790 Quad-Core 3.6GHz (4.0GHz TurboBoost)
850 Watt Corsair RM850 power supply
Dual 2GB AMD Radeon R9 285 graphics cards
ORIGIN Professional Graphics Card Overclocking
16GB ORIGIN PC powered by HyperX 1866Mhz (2x8GB)
Genuine MS Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit Edition
Two 500GB ORIGIN PC Approved Hard Drive
24X CD/DVD Burner Optical drive
playback software: none
audio card: onboard(Supreme FX 2014)
D-Link Wireless DWA-566 PCI Express Desktop Adapter

Now to the questions

Motherboard:
as i don't know much about motherboards i want to know if i should get a better one than the one i have chosen or if i should stick with this one

Playback software:
what do i need it for

audio card:
is the one that onboard good enough and what would the difference be(im using astro a40 headset)

network:
is the one i have chosen good enough as it is pretty important as im gonna be playing online games like cod and csgo.

if you think there are any parts i deselect or maybe switch out for anything

now for the accessories(yes i know this is the wrong section for this)
so i have a few questions about the accessories

keyboard:
so im a bit confused with the fact that the
Razer BlackWidow Ultimate 2014
and
ORIGIN PC BlackWidow Ultimate
1. they have the same price
2. they almost have the same name
3. they look almost identical except the light on origin is red and on razer its green
so if anyone knows anything about these
then whats the difference and wich one is best

Mouse pad:
wich one should i buy
1. ORIGIN PC Goliathus Medium Speed
2. Razer Goliathus Medium Speed 2014
3. Razer Goliathus Extended Speed 2014
4. razer manticor
5. Corsair Vengeance MM200
6. Corsair Vengeance MM400

Thanks in advance
