So i'm looking for a keyboard for my new gaming rig.

Something similar to the image attached. I want really nice key caps like those, it needs to be available in the uk too.

I dont have a tonne of money so i dont want to spend much either.

I dont care about the switches although i do prefer MX blues.

Any ideas? Thanks!

True true, I feel like I've seen that keyboard somewhere before...anyway, you could just find a keyboard you like and get some custom keycaps onto em :P

KBC poker 60%, Ducky mini (they are both quite expensive) for cherry switches, CM's Quickfire Rapid i for TKL but they are quite cheap (with cherry switches), CM quickfire TK are cheap and pretty good but is bigger than that apple wireless keyboard (cherry switches) and I guess look around for 60% keyboards/TKL with blue switches for cheap, non cherry switches :P

Well from what I've heard, KBC Poker's are pretty damn high quality and they are comparable with the likes of ducky and WASD (aka the tier above Corsair and Logitech) so I'm guessing they should last a long time :).

Hmm, okay! I think i will go with that then.

I know this isnt the right place but can you check my pc parts as im about to buy them :) 

http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/2GBFd6 Can you reccomend a better case?

Hmmm...looks pretty good to be honest, I'm unsure what better case would suit you personally however :/. I would say it's fine and go for it (p.s. that cooler may be a bit underwhelming but should be fine at cooling a stock 6600k.)
