You can literally get $5 keyboard/mouse anywhere. You won't notice a difference at all between that $20-30 keyboard/mouse set. This PC has just as good CPU, much faster video card, and better power supply (cheaper as well)

As for games, should run everything ultra or very high at 1080p

I forgot to mention that i need a nvidia gpu...

Why do you need Nvidia specifically? Do you use 3D-related applications that require CUDA? If not, there's no reason why you "need" Nvidia

^^ I'd swap RAM for dual channel.

I went over by $5.00, I call it close enough. First thing I did was chop the motherboard. Only reason to get a 'gaming' motherboard is for style and/or SLI/Crossfire which isn't in your budget. Saved there. Cut the case down as well since again you don't need a big case with only one drive, one GPU, and going down to an mATX motherboard. Saved there. PSU went to a seasonic 520w, saved there.

That allowed me to get you up to a GTX 970 which will effortlessly do 1080p gaming at high framerates. Plus it will run much cooler and quieter than almost any AMD card.

The B150 board will get you more SATA and USB ports, plus it's cheaper. Save a little on the case and PSU and you can step up to the GTX 960. This would get you better frame rates on higher settings than the 750 Ti.

Icaraeus :

There are only two RAM slots and if he decides to upgrade RAM he can throw in another 8GB stick instead of buying entire 16GB kit and save $20.
