This project seems unclear. Why invest in an aftermarket cooler for that CPU? You're opting for a full ATX case while using a micro ATX motherboard? Your graphics card is decent for 1440p gaming, but you might find a better deal unless you specifically need MSI. Sapphire's 280 model often drops to around $150. I’d skip Windows 8.1 OEM and go with G2A for three retail keys at the same cost as one OEM from a store. I’ve had success with three retail keys for Windows 8.1. Be sure to purchase the Shield. You already own the mouse and keyboard set you’re interested in. Although it’s solid, the keyboard feels odd because the lights don’t switch on automatically—you must press the scroll lock key each time. This makes it hard to use with Excel since turning off the scroll lock turns the keyboard black. Otherwise, it’s a decent keyboard. The mouse is average; I expect it to fail within the first 90 days. It’s a solid $50 option for a bargain, but the mouse is a $0.99 piece.

I'll take a look and support a fellow M'lady with an updated part list and cost breakdown by CPU model. Prices reflect what I found on various retailers. This configuration offers improved balance and enhanced performance.

Yes, a 500W power supply should typically work well for most devices.

She already had a lot for CS GO and Minecraft, so spending more wasn't necessary. Edit: it turns out it's actually cheaper, though I’d still trim some items and invest in better peripherals since those games rely heavily on them.

Do you enjoy playing CS GO seriously? If yes, I’d allocate part of the budget to a mechanical keyboard and a 144Hz monitor.

I used an affordable Logy keyboard and mouse setup until the MG1 model, mainly focusing on the mouse's sensor performance.

Mid-range gaming setup supports 1080p without issues. Spending only on the two games you mentioned would be a waste. A 750ti or 270x would fit the budget and still deliver strong performance for titles like Minecraft, CS:GO, Dota/LoL, or other demanding titles at medium to high settings.

Absolutely, mouse plays a bigger role in CS:GO. For keyboard responsiveness, you don't need a costly mechanical keyboard.

If you receive the 280 graphics card, it may allow you to reduce the power supply specifications.

Consider your needs carefully; the R9 270x offers a balance, while the R9 280 provides more power for demanding tasks.
