I will be building my first gaming pc soon. However, my parents are divorced (so I am building a mini Itx build) so I need some portable peripherals.
First, I want a mechanical keyboard, preferably tenkeyless for easy transport, for under $100.
Next, I want a good gaming mouse, preferably with an ergonomic design (I'm right handed), for around $60 or less.
Next, I want a good gaming headset that sounds great. I was thinking about getting the shp9500 and a modmic, but if there is anything better for less, I would love to know.
Finally, I want a decent gaming monitor (20 inches or larger) for around the $100-$130, since I will need to buy two of these I can't shell out a lot for one.

Firstly, the keyboard: for a 100$ You can...




Firstly, the keyboard: for a 100$ You can get the Drevo Gramr 84k which is extremely small, but i really like it but i guess its just my opinion,If you arent into those kinds of keyboards. i will just go for the Corsair K30 which is a very nice compact keyboard.

Secondly, A good gaming mice for under 100$ are:

Steelseries Rival 100 - 40$~
Steelseries Rival 300 - 60$~
Zowie FK2 - 70$~
Zowie EC2-A - 60$~
Razer Deathadder Chroma - ~54$

About the headset, it seems like you care alot about microphone quality so I guess you can get the Kraken 7.1 and a Modmic.

About the Monitor, For gaming 144/120 hz Is very recommended, but isn't very relevant to your budget so i'll just recommend a 1080p one.

I did some research and found this one:
https://www.amazon.com/Dell-P2214H-monitor-limited-warranty/dp/B00EQAG31A/ref=sr_1_13?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1473616928&sr=1-13&keywords=22+inch+computer+monitor

it has very good quality while also being really appealing to the eye.
 
Solution
Mice:
Deathadder (only for big hands), any Zowie (mainly for FPS), Logitech G303 (make sure it has no sensor rattle)/G Pro/G402 (for FPS and everything else except hardcore MMO) G502 (for casual gaming and somewhat MMOs), SS Rival 300 (for FPS and everything else except hardcore MMO) Finalmouse (not recommended unless into hardcore FPS), Roccat Kone (for FPS and everything else except hardcore MMO).

Keyboards:
CM Storm Quickfire Rapid-i
Vortex Pok3r RGB (60%)
Corsair K65 RGB
Masterkeys Pro S
Some Ducky Keyboards may also be a good choice.

Audio:
Ok, I would NOT recommend getting a headset because I bad audio quality, mic and price to performance. Since you are thinking about getting the shp9500 + modmic, I know your budget. Therefore I recommend the DT 770s by Beyerdynamic and a modmic because of the insane sound quality and price to performance

Monitor:
Just get a 1080p one in your price range. IPS would be nice, and so would 144/120hz, but I you may not be able to get either because of your price range, and certainly not both. The one above is fine.
