For mice the G502 is a good mice as is the deathadder but the mice is really personal preference.

For the keyboard it is worth looking at CM Storm Quickfire keyboards (They are the tits), ducky if you have more money

For the headset I can recommend the Siberia V2 if you do not have glasses, the Logitech G35 if you do have glasses.

This is why you should not get an FX CPU for ANY scenario other than rendering on a budget http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/286142-fx-8350-r9-290-psu-requirements/?p=3892901 http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/266481-an-issue-with-people-bashing-the-fx-cpus/?p=3620861

Corsair K70, Corsair M95 (because of all the buttons for MMO games), Steelseries QcK (any size you want, great mousepad), and HyperX Cloud for the headset.

Mice: Get a g400s (cheap, reliable and gets the job done) (you can bind item slots (assuming you are playing MOBA) to your mouse keys for easy use too)

Keyboard: Depends, get the k70 if you like cherry mxblues, if not get the g710+ (solid keyboard with macro keys too!)

Headset: i would honestly not recommand G430 if you are wearing specs. (I have them and they are quite uncomfortable but im too lazy to change) If you dont wear specs it is a really amazing headset at the good pricing too! (for 7.1) 

Mouse pads: Get the steel series one (not sure what it is called but it's like 20SGD here)

The BBQ: i7-4770 / 212x / Tri-X R9 290x 1075/1400 / MSI H87-G43 GAMING / EVGA G2 850W / Corsair Spec 03 / Samsung 840 EVO 250gb SSD / Toshiba 2TB HDD / 8gb Kingston DDR3 1600mhz

Peripherals: G710+ / G502 / Bose Companion 2 Series III / Audio Technica ATH-M40x / Sound Magic E50

Mice: Logitech G402 and the Razer Deathadder look like the two best purchases on the market right now

 

Keyboard: If you're going to go for the Blackwidow, try it first. The switches feel hella different to Cherry MX switches. Aesthetically, I don't like the K70. +1 to whoever said the CM Storm Quickfires, worth a look at

 

Headset: HyperX Cloud, otherwise headphones + modmic

 

Mousepads: Steelseries QCK+ or Razer Goliathus, every pro-gamer out there uses on of the two. I prefer the Goliathus Control edition. I'm also not a fan of hard surfaces, I find them a little too smooth, if that makes sense. That and they feel uncormfortable after a while

CPU: Intel Core i7-4770k | Mobo: MSI Mpower Max | Cooling: Cryorig R1 Ultimate w/ XT140 front Fan | GPU: EVGA GTX 770 Dual SC SLI | Case: NZXT H440 | Case Fans: Phanteks PH-140SP x5 | PSU: EVGA Supernova P2 1000W | RAM: 16GB Crucial Ballistix Tactical Tracer | SSD: Kingston HyperX 3k 120GB | HDD: Seagate Barracude

Keyboard: Razer Blackwidow Ultimate 2013 | Mouse: Razer Deathadder 2013 | Headphones: Sennheiser HD438s | Mousepad: Razer Goliathus Control | Monitor 1: Benq XL2430T | Monitor 2: BenQ RL2455HM

Would help if you could specify what you are looking for in each peripheral and what is your budget, but here's some quality recommendations:

 

MOUSE: Logitech G502

KEYBOARD: Corsair K70, K95 if you need macro keys. Logitech G710+ and CM Storm Trigger-Z are good alternatives to K95. For ten-keyless option there's CM Storm Quickfire Rapid-i.

HEADSET: Proper headphones from a real audio company (such as Sennheiser 518) + a clip-on (such as Zalman ZM-MIC1) or desk mic (such Blue Snowflake) is way better than any gaming headset but if you must have an all-in-one solution, HyperX Cloud is the only worthy option unless you are willing to spend over $200.

MOUSEPAD: SteelSeries 9HD/4HD if you want hard speedy pad. PureTrak Talent or Roccat Taito for cloth and Zowie P-TF for hybrid.

the corsair M95 is TERRIBLE, all the thumb buttons are soggy as a dead rat and are located in the most awkward locations possible.
