Thanks, cutebeans. I will use your build. You're missing a gaming mouse in your list, though.

Hi, I know. I just put a keyboard+mouse combo in there.

It's up to you to decide what you want. :) I can't recommend those things because it really depends on the person on how he uses the mouse.

The Logitech G400 is pretty good though if you really want a gaming mouse. It's only $30 well within your budget.
