Keyboard: Logitech G110 (If you want for Gaming)
Special: Razer Black Widow MECHANICAL Keyboard, So if you do school work and type a lot of essays then the Mechanical razer will be gaming + work,

Optical Drive: JUST GET ANYTHING!!! ANYTHING!!! So... ASUS DVD DRIVE, Find one for $20!!!

and did you get a Wireless card yet? If you do get the ASUS one, (I'm not a die hard asus fan but they make very good things)

and since your budget has ~$50 left, I would recccomend upgrading to: 8GB RAM

OR YOU CAN:

Buy a cpu cooler so you can overclock your cpu: Buy a cooler master hyper 212 plus (best one for the money)

OR YOU CAN:

Buy another 500GB Hardrive
