As for PC case choices, that is very personal choice.
For me here are a few I would personally want:
- Fractal Design R4
- NZXT Phantom410
- Cooler Master HAF XM
or if wanting something quite cheap the NZXT Switch 210

I dont know anything about keyboards 😛

For a case I suggest the NZXT Phantom.

Thanks for your responses. So do you think that 750w would be enough for my configuration. I believe that the component with the major consumption will be the Video Card, and I am using a GTX780. With the configuration that I listed, what do you think would be my max watt consumption?

You can use GTX 780 with seasonic G 550w psu. So 750w is plenty for the build )
