Hi I was looking into building my first mechanical keyboard and i need help with some parts
I would like a TKL board and hot swappable pcb. if possible a purple case would be ideal

Here's what i already have

Switches: NovelKeys Cream

Keycaps: GPBT Keycaps

Lube: Krytox 205G0

I have no PCBs ,Plate, or stabilizers currently

Thank you for any help in advance!

What is your budget?

There is a purple Novelkeys NK65 Entry edition, budget, and 65% with arrow keys. But, its basically impossible to get (took my friend 3 months)

The GMMK Modular Barebone TKL is cheaper and comes back in stock soon.

Currently the Radiance TKL GB is live and looks like it's the perfect match for you. Although you will have to buy the hot-swap PCB seperately.
Here's the link for the GB in the NA region https://keyspresso.ca/collections/group-buys-current/products/group-buy-radiance-tkl
and here's the link for the hot-swap PCB: https://keyspresso.ca/collections/group-buys-current/products/group-buy-radiance-tkl-add-ons-1
For the stabilizer, I recommend a set of Durock V2 stabilizer, link to it from the same vendor as the board: https://keyspresso.ca/collections/stabilizers/products/durock-stabilizers-v2
i also recommend wire balacing each stab and also Holee mod the stabs, guides on how to said mods are followed:

Yes, you have to change it under "Case style" in the main listing:

Forgot to mention, it will be shipped in Q4 2021. It's not an in stock item so you should expect some waiting time.
just in case youre looking for a keyboard right away

Another option for you is the gasket mounted Scarlet TKL: https://www.makerkeyboards.com/products/scarlet?variant=37870477148310
But since it doesn't come in purple, I didn't recommend it in the first place.
