Looks like a nice build! For a keyboard I would highly recommend the Razer Black Widow Ultimate. It is $130, and most people aren't willing to pay that much for a keyboard, but the mechanical keys are nicer than you may think. Every key is backlit with whatever color, and all of the keys are programmable with it's software. I don't own it, but I'm getting it for sure. I had just tried it at my friends the other day.

In terms of mice, I personally have a Cyborg RAT 7 that I got on sale, and it's a beauty. If you want a cheaper mouse, the Logitech 525 is a very nice mouse, get it in Red/White color combo and you're good to go.

Overclocking a system is really a great idea for getting the maximum from the system in performance and Overclocking is something which depends on the user of the system because improper overclocking can damage your processor or can evn lead to burning.So if you are not an expert on this kind of stuff that is overclocking then please try to avoid it. :)

For overclocking you can watch videos , browse through forums or you can get a help from some experts whom you may know most probably in your locality. :)
