CM Storm / Razer Deathstalker / Razer Blackwidow (ultimate) are all great but expensive keyboards. I myself have the Sharkoon Skiller which is a great gaming keyboard for under <20$ 😉.

Razer does also make great mouses, but a mouse depends more on preference taking into account that the response time is reasonable. The Razer Deathadder is a very well known gaming mouse, I myself have the more budget Razer Abyssus and I must say it works like a charm =).

A quick note, don't take the mouse with the 'highest DPI", the abyssus has an adjustable DPI function and I am not even using it to the max as I won't even see my...

If it is there in 2 months, buy it =).

For the monitors, I prefer dual monitor actually. You are not going to use 3D while playing FPS games and the dual monitor can be used for multiple purposes. programs on 1 monitor, playing a game on the other one =). You can also later upgrade to a 3rd 21.5 inch monitor and play using eyefinity!

hmm.......It will also save me like $100. should I upgrade to i7-4770k then or find a sound card (i like to listen to music very very VERY MUCH!)

As it saves you money, yes go for the upgrade. But take into mind that the 4770k won't improve gaming performance over an i5 3570k/4670k. It will only benefit in heavy rendering tasks like Adobe Aftereffects.

If you like music, buy a nice headset or buy speakers with a nice subwoofer. My speakers (philips spa 5300 if I'm correct) sound great for budget speakers =). I listen to Dubstep/ Trap/ Electro house and they sound great!

You mean speakers? Can you tell me why that is or isn't good ? It are budget speakers (<100€) and seem to work quite well (I am not an audio expert but for a regular user they sound more than fine).

The headset I use is a turtle beach PX3 ^^.

Yes I have also read some negative reviews about it, but the subwoofer cut it for me =). Especially if you listen to loud music you will really "feel" the extra bass 😉.

Turtle beach PX3 is pretty old (got it 2/3 years ago) - the best gaming headsets are probably made by astro. For plain music I'm not sure which one to recommend.
