i don't got any loving objectively good advice to offer you but: mechanical keyboards are not for everyone and there's a high probability that you may end up spending more money than you'd like on them

phflack:
I personally really like the logitech g500
I'm on my 3rd one now, over a bit more than a decade
the mouse itself doesn't break, but the cable came bent the second time and caused issues later on, the first time the cable gave out near the USB connection
issue is, it's no longer being made, so I think the price is slowly going up

Alkatjo:
I don't really have any other suggestions but i do have two things to say.

1. Remember that you're buying for performance. An i7 is nice, truly it is, but you don't really need one. If you're doing demanding tasks such as streaming or rendering a huge art asset in some program than yes i would advise getting an i7 or ryzen to boost your performance in those areas. But if you're like most people and see an i7 as a superior processor just because it has a higher numerical value in it's name, then you also need to consider the price vs performance ratio. In the case of the average everyday normal gamer, an i5 66/7700k is more than enough to run what you need.

2. No matter what anyone says, you don't need more than 32gb of ram. Seriously, you don't. People see those 8 dimm slots and think of them like an empty void, if you must fill your dimm slots then please buy fillers. Hell, i have 8gb of ddr4 and I've had no trouble with any of my games, and the trouble i usually have to my performance comes from the optimization of certain games rather than my own setup.

Edit: For keyboards i would recommend the corsair "k" series. Nice keyboards, the cost is fairly low as well. Any other mouse will do, wired or not.

you dont need a gaming keyboard as they're just keyboards with fancy lighting on them. sure they have extra buttons, but i've never used any of the 10 extra buttons on my keyboard except for the mute key.
also dont go for mechanical keyboards if you're living with other people in the house, they make so much noise when gaming that you'll probably annoy others. the advantages for mechanical keyboards are not worth the extra cost and sound.
a gaming mouse maybe (extra mouse buttons are always nice), but don't spend a 1/15th of the budget on it, the sweet spot is usually around £20 ($27) to £50 ($67) for gaming mouses.
you will probably never use 64gb of ram unless you intend on doing some serious video editing and recording; 8gb to 16gb is good for most tasks today (32gb if you wanna be future proof).

for a graphics card, i'd personally recommend the 1050ti; good cooling and performance at a fairly low cost. i've been using it for almost a year now and i've had zero problems with game lag.

the case of the computer doesn't really matter if you don't care about aesthetics, aim for cheap but not too cheap

also on queebas build; you really dont need a sound card as a vast majority of motherboards already have built in sound which produces fairly good quality audio at no extra cost; you'll only realisticly need a sound card if you work with audio frequently and professionally
