What to pick?

I am building my first PC and have been told to cut costs on my peripherals and use that money towards a better cpu/gpu. I have 3 links to 3 different possibly purchases. Im looking for RGB mechanical keyboards. Yes I know my options aren't all mechanical. 

 

1) Logitech G213 ($60.80) and buy a separate mouse maybe the logitech G502 or G303 daedalus-  https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16823126473

 

2) Coolermaster masterset ms120 set ($79.99) - https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16823129083&cm_re=masterset_ms120-_-23-129-083-_-Product

 

3) Corsair K55 RGB mecha membrane w/ harpoon mouse ($105.99) - https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA4RE6416273&cm_re=corsair_k55-_-9SIA4RE6416273-_-Product

 

If anyone has used these or can give some advice on whats good and bad I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks in advance :)

id go for a $10 keyboard or something and get a proper mech keyboard later if you cant now. mem-canical switches are some of my least perferd, at least the ones i have tested. they feel like mechanical switches a bit but dont bring you any of the benefits of them. so id go for a cheap membrane keyboard and get a decent mouse like a Rival 300 or whatever you find nice

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016

Check out linus' video for the mech keyboards under $45, if I remember correctly they feature a few RGB ones.

I know to spend more money on the mouse than other peripherals. i would just like to get my stuff matching and that is quality.

Or you can get a cheap Tomoko keyboard if you really want the mechanical experience. They're only about 40 bucks for a 87 key one.

@skeeler88 The K55 + Harpoon combo is a great entry level gaming setup.  Both are programmable through our Corsair Utility Engine in terms of lighting and keybinds.  if you're looking for mechanical switches, the Strafe would be the closest in price point and similarity.
