Solution
No reason to get X79 when it's already been replaced with X99, and even then X99 really isn't worth it because high cost of DDR4. Go with LGA 150 and put more money in the graphics if you're gaming.

As far as keyboard goes I personally wouldn't get any of the above. There's much better you can get for the price range like the Cooler Master Storm or Gigabyte Osmium series. Go for the 850W G2 - it's currently one of the best PSUs on the market and got a perfect 10/10 on Jonnyguru (a rare feat) : http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=NDReviews&op=Story&reid=377
