Perfect, I'll just throw a 780 in there to reach his budget. :D

I'd suggest the 290 since it's much cheaper. http://pcpartpicker.com/part/gigabyte-video-card-gvr929wf34gd

He wants to keep the 770 because it's good enough, but he want's a blue backlit KB and a mouse that's not red. Does the M40 light up blue too?

No, it's red. Get the M65 instead in that case: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/corsair-mouse-ch9000022na

As for the keyboard: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/ducky-keyboard-dk9008s3busalaab1

If he doesn't likes mx blues: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/cooler-master-keyboard-sgk4020gkcl1us
