Looks like a cut-rate Corsair K70. :) The only catch: it's Kailh Brown, not Cherry Brown.

IMO it's worth the price but I'm not your gf so:
I was looking an azio which isn't terrible but it's not cherry mx switches but still mechanical switches.

mechanical keyboards are definetely nicer to play on(clicky and easy to tell when you press a key), but are more expensive, a gaming mouse will make a difference if the sensor is better than your current one.
For 60$ I would say
The large mousepad helps a lot and is really nice to use, so you can play on a lower sensitivity which will help you aim in games.
if you do get the money later on, you could get a mechanical keyboard like this one which had brown switches (more quiet but still "clicky").
check this comes with wrist rest and has good reviews on Amazon.com (usa) uses khailh brown switches .... but it's from global store.

Maybe one of these? Anything better?
Rgb would be nicer than a fixed red tbh

AZIO MGK1-K
I love it
I didn't pull the trigger since I kinda prefer to have white LEDs and am worried that the red/blue would be too dark.
Then I found this keyboard from Azio. I know it had Kaill switches but it has white LEDS and an easy volume rocker which is one of the most important things for me. I've read so much lately and have heard either that the Kaill switches are extremely good switches and that you wouldn't know the difference between the two, all the way to how they are noticeably mushier or "crunchy". Anyone have any experience with this one?

I want to buy a mechanical keyboard and I saw one that looks good with good comments on Amazon but I'm worried that the fact it had kailh and not cherry mx might be a problem. I want a keyboard which I can feel the click but it's not too noisy so I can't play with friends and they don't hate me for keyboard sounds.
So my questions are: is brown the right option for me?
Is kailh going to be a problem?
And which one of these is better (I like the white lighting better soon tend to want the kailh keys and not the cherry)

Hi! Looking for a full size board. Nothing RGB, but I'd prefer a white back-lite. I really like brown switches too. I saw the Azio MGK1-K and love it. Would you recommend this or no? Also, can I switch the keycaps to white for under $20? Thanks!

here are a couple of keyboards he can consider

Single colour backlight, neutral colours and well-built, good looking stock keycaps, ~the same price as a STRAFE and the layout is generally superior as well, less space but you get all keys.
Again, ~same price as the STRAFE RGB but overall better quality, standard bottom row etc, this can also be counted as the Masterkeys M RGB as they're virtually the same price / form factor, just, not literally.
An overall similar build to the K70, neutral colour and design as a whole (keycaps aren't the prettiest thing in the world but they're not as bad as the STRAFE's keycaps IMO), and it's commonly on Amazon for ~$60USD, whereas a STRAFE isn't usually much below $100USD.
Oh and, no, before you say Kailh is worse, Kailh is quite literally better than Cherry MX in numerous regards, if you'd like I can quote someone that explained it better than I ever could and has worked with Kailh first-hand. Cherry quite frankly isn't what they used to be.
There's also a million and one generic Kailh/Outemu boards that are TKL/fullsize for sub-$60 on Amazon/other marketplaces that I won't mention because well, there's way too many to count, many of them use the same OEM just with different names and a lot of them are actually excellent budget boards.
Basically the older brother of the Masterkeys line, uses a very similar design, only real 'downside' is that it's TKL and it has no LEDs, which at the end of the day is preference, some want fullsize, some want even 60%. Some want RGB LEDs on 24/7 at the highest setting to ensure blindness ^^^^/s and some want no LEDs.
There's also the CM Quickfire XT which is basically the same thing but fullsize, though they're usually not as cheap for some reason.
Ducky is of course a fairly well-known company that make keyboards that (usually) aren't overly flashy, don't use software (except for the newest RGB one IIRC) at a reasonable cost, you can get a Ducky Shine 5/6 which is fullsize, comes with excellent lighting, a standard bottom row and PBT keycaps (which quite frankly shit all over Corsair's stock keycaps and any other ABS ones for that matter), all for around the same price as a STRAFE RGB. The One is basically an alternative to the STRAFE, seems like it only comes with ABS keycaps (or PBT are more rare), but it's also an excellent option if you're not huge on RGB lighting (they also come with removable cables, which is a nice as hell feature for the sake of cleaning).
There's also the Ducky One TKL which is well, basically a Shine 5 without the numpad at a lower price. There's also the fact that Ducky boards come with more than just MX blue/red/brown (do Corsair boards even come with MX blues anymore? last I heard they didn't).
Oh.
In that case:
As for a mouse, I'd recommend:
EDIT: NVM, just realized you went ahead.
This one has white backlight but I think it'll do the job just fine. LTT did a video on it a while back so you might as well check that video out as well.
That is the 3rd time the QuickFire XT has been mentioned in this thread. I wish it had a wrist rest but those can be purchased separate of course.
I've also found this one which (while backlit, it's only white which should be just fine) seems to meet all my criteria aside from using Kailh Brown switches instead of Cherry MX. From what I've read the switches are a little cheaper, but otherwise almost identical.
So for mouse I would get a Logitech MX Master (https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Master-Wireless-Mouse-High-precision/dp/B00TZR3WRM/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1509671729&sr=1-3&keywords=logitech+mx+master) or MX Master 2 (https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Wireless-Cross-Computer-Control-Sharing/dp/B071YZJ1G1/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1509671675&sr=8-4&keywords=logitech+mx+master). Both are very good options and are wireless and can be turned into wired if needed. Also the MX Master 2 can connect/switch between multiple computers with different os. As for the mechanical keyboard, it really depends. What do you like? Clicky/Tactile? or maybe Silent/Tactile. It is really up to you. But I really like the AZIO MGK1-K (https://www.amazon.com/Azio-Backlit-Mechanical-Keyboard-MGK1-K/dp/B010M53SLU/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1509671927&sr=1-2&keywords=azio+mechanical+keyboard) as brown switches are my favorite.
This one looks good to me
Razer Deathadder for mice is nice
Logitech G300s or 402 will do just fine
You wont get a good gaming laptop for 1000 because most that cost 1000 only have a gtx960m which is not worth 1000 since it is about as good as a gtx750ti desktop card so i would recommend spending 1000 on a desk top to get a gtx 1070 and a i5 but if you must have a lap top her is a decent onehttps://www.amazon.com/Dell-15-6-Inch-Quad-Core-i5-6300HQ-Processor/dp/B015PYYDMQ/156-2623700-9051855?ie=UTF8&tag=pcpapi-20 and here is a mechanical keyboardhttps://www.amazon.com/Azio-Backlit-Mechanical-Keyboard-MGK1-K/dp/B010M53SLU/ref=sr_1_14?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1469480600&sr=1-14&keywords=mechanical+keyboard
