Keyboard and mouse: I dont have one picked out yet. Any recommendations for gaming? not too expensive though

I have combo deals on Mobo+RAM, PSU+HD and CPU+OS
 
The board is an older design without USB 3 or SATA 6GB/S.

The GPU is a bit light for gaming at that res... not real bad but enough that you might not like some of the quality compromises in some games.

Kill two birds with one stone?

the board supports SLI and this is a stronger card.

Just as good RAM at a lesser initial cost
