They depends mainly Personal choice & on what do you want to do witjh your PC.

If you want to gaming on big monitor & would like to operate your PC from decent distance then you should go for wireless KB+Mouse. Also if you want to be free
from cable clutter.

Do bear in mind that they need to charged by rechargable battaries so they have some running cost. Also you need to charge those battaries & change them after a month.

Personaly I prefer wireless KB & wired Laser mouse. Wireless mouses are a bit heavy for their battaries.

But most companies sell wireless KB+mouse as a combo. So it's hard to find a single wireless KB.

So I would suggest to stick with wired KB and mouse from good & reputed brand like MS or Logitec.

For Gaming, I would say, TVSE keyboard. its costly though (around 1k). But the response time is awesome.

wireless means not so great gaming and you need to spend on batteries.

if u wanna go wireless then i wud suggest u Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop 1000.
the kbd batteries last bout 3-4 months with xtensive gaming and with rechargable batteries bout 2 months per charge. (2100mAH Uniross)but get a laser mouse,the wireless mouse consumes more battery.

Also for the mobo i wud suggest MSI P7N SLi Platinum for 8.4k.gr8 mobo.using it now and ocs like charm.

Yes. Look for cheaper D-Link or Netgear routers. But do you have wireless card in your desktop??

Also if you are going to buy wireless pci card & a wireless router try to buy same brand for both. It will give you less trouble as some wireless routers & cards have some compatibility issue when you use different manufacturer product.
Yes my choice is also Dlink and netgear.
