keyboard: ducky shine 3 or k70/95 with blues
Mouse: really depends on your drip style but id say g500s is pretty solid or the 602 which everyone seems to like
Headphones: if you want closed headphones then the beyerdynamic custom one pros with a zalman clip-on mic
or if you want open headphones the ad700x, dt990 are both good options
will need a dac/amp for these headphones so pick up a fiio e10 as well

if you dont like some of these i can find stuff more suitable vbut this is all pretty good stuff imo

The thing i disagree with in the above post, K70/K95 Keyboards aren't fully mechanical. It's almost painful when using one. I'd rather see a fully mechanical keyboard recommended rather then a "Gaming" mech board recommended. I really like my CM Storm Quickfire Pro. Took me almost 3 months of straight looking for keyboard, but i found one... and may have bought 2 or 3 of them so i can have them for a while . It all comes down to personal preference with peripherals. For some a cheap 20 dollar logitech keyboard and mouse combo will do, for others it's a really nice Mechanical Keyboard, and a cheap mouse... ETC. 

 

If you're an Audiophile you'll want better headphones then someone who is not.

If you have knuckles/hand that hurt a lot your choice like mine is influenced on comfort

 

It all comes down to personal preference, we could all recommend you the things we like best, but at the end of the day you could spend 1000's of dollars and get no where. So tell us what exactly you're looking for in a Mouse/Keyboard/Mic/Set of Cans, and it will help use help you!

K70 and K95 are fully mechanical. Their predecessors K60 and K90 were not. However, K95 is reds only. If you want blues K70 is the only option.

 

Some good headphone choices given already. Just do not buy a "gaming headset"!

 

For mouse: Logitech G400s, Razer Death Adder 2013, Zowie AM/FK, Corsair Raptor M40, Roccat Kone Pure Optical, CM Storm Recon or maybe the new SteelSeries Rival. They all have awesome sensors and good build quality.

For a keyboard I would go with a corsair they have a solid build quality and I think a good quality feel to them. I personally have a K95 and am very happy with it, the mx reds are very good, having a good clicky sound but not being too loud. 

 

I'm using a g900 from logitech which is a great mouse and has 12 buttons on the side for MMO gaming mostly, but i also really liked it for its high dpi (8200) which is great once you get used to it, which will take some practice. Corsair has some really good mice as has logitech

 

Headphones I would go with the Sennheiser HD558 which are quite expensive and sort of "audiophile" headphones but they do deliver a great sound, if you want a mic built in I would go with a higher end turtle beach which in my experience always sound great an have solid mic quality. Or you can rock a blue snowball which is awesome.
