Get a Quickfire Rapid or some cheap mechanical keyboard.

I kinda want headphones more than a keyboard. Also I'm open to any suggestions to anything for a gaming pc under $70

Well I'm not a headphone guy so you will have to wait for others' suggestions. You COULD go for a 60GB SSD....

I'd pick the SSD, maybe save up little more and get a SSD for your boot drive instead of cache.

Get a keyboard. If you want headphones, save up around $150. Headphones also depend on what music you listen to though.

I have the Asus Orion headset, I think I payed around $70 for it and I totally recommend it. I'm not an audiophile by any means, but my main concern was comfort. Another good headset is the Steelseries V2 Siberia; also around your price point.

FX 8150 @ 4.0 GHz, MSI Radeon 7850 OC Edition, 2 x 4 gigs of GSkill Sniper ddr3 at 2133 MHz, two 120 gig Kingston HyperX 3K ssds, Crosshair V Formula, Antec High Current Gamer 620 watt psu, all wrapped up inside a Cooler Master CM Storm Stryker.

Why would you need a gigabit switch?

Many reasons: 1. His router doesn't support Gigabit speeds. 2. His router's physical ports are all filled up. 3. His router, while Gigabit, isn't particularly high performance. Having a Gigabit switch is incredibly useful and is very hassle free to install and manage (We're talking consumer dumb switches).

 

get a cache ssd

Good option. I'd rather say for OP to save up and get a full sized SSD (128GB or 250GB depending on whether he wanted to install games on it or not). Cache drives are good but they certainly have their limitations. Performance IS noticeably better with a dedicated boot SSD.

 

I'm thinking about it but I want headphones soooo bad

If you want a good set of Headphones, honestly, save up about twice as much as what you've got, minimum. $150-200 is the sweet spot for kickass headphones. You'll be blown away by the difference. Though if they are too good (read: have high impedance or OMS rating - 50 oms or higher) then you may want to pick up a headphone amp just to get the most out of them.

 

So honestly, if all you've got is $70, and you REALLY want Headphones, or an SSD, then just save the money until you've got around $150-200, then buy either a sweet pair of headphones, or buy a nice sized boot SSD. Put the money away and save it :)
