    I'd personally look around on ebay till I find a good deal on both parts that you are looking for. ;)

    You can usually find a keyboard on Ebay without much trouble but the prices tend to fluctuate. I have seen them go from $30-$150 so you have to look around. The GPU will depend on whether you want AMD or Nvidia and how much you want to spend.
