Just bought mine from Amazon, it arrived yesterday and it's amazing. In stock!
Mine has custom keycaps, but this is a prebuilt. You can find it on many websites, such as mechanicalkeyboards.com or amazon.
You can get the Pok3r RGB on amazon for $150 which is like $10 more than MK.com
IMO getting the switch you want is more important
Also for swapping out switches with LEDs it depends on the type of LED. If it's an in switch LED, then you'll have to desolder the LEDs before desoldering the switches first. If it has SMD LEDs like the Pok3r RGB then you'll only have to desolder the switch.
Sad to say but Razer is actually synonymous with BAD quality. They're overpriced for what they offer and they're quality control is abysmal.
With a budget of $300, you can basically get any of the prebuilt off the shelf keyboards.
What kind of size are you looking for? The keyboards are classified by the amount of keys they possess.
Let's start at the beginning. You're surely used to the fullsize keyboard with numpad and everything. Examples: CM Masterkeys Pro L or Ducky Shine 5
Do you feel like you want the numpad but want a smaller board? You can go with a TK (ten key) or a 96 key layout (these are not the same). CM Masterkeys Pro M or RS96
Do you want to drop the numpad? You'll have a huge pick from the amount of TKL (ten keyless) boards or a 75% layout (again, these are not the same). MK Disco or Ducky One
Find that you don't use the nav cluster or the function row that much? You can get a 60% or 65% keyboard. Pok3r or Leopold FC660M
Do note that any of the missing keys can be found on layers (which means you press the function key to access them, only one additional keypress for much more compactness)
You can go even smaller by dropping the number row and getting a 30% or 40% keyboard. MiniVan or Planck
Then there are the split keyboards that you can buy or build. The Mistel Barocco or the Ergodox EZ are some options if you want some
I got mine from amazon. Not sure how cheap the massdrop was but I paid $149. Looks like there's a used one going for $130 + $5.64 shipping:

I've been looking for a POK3R 3 to buy online and the only in-stock options are on Amazon. Are these keyboards legitimate? Plenty of reviews but I have no idea how to authenticate these boards before buying... here's one link I found.

Any help is greatly appreciated!!
It's available at Amazon.ca https://www.amazon.ca/Mechanical-Keyboard-Keycaps-Mx-Brown-backlit/dp/B01ILVWF6G/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1478278686&sr=8-6&keywords=pok3r
But at like 2x the price. WTF...
Where can I get this keyboard but white? I'm new to this.

Definitely. Look into a poker 3 or a v60. They are popular 60% keyboards that seem to suit your needs. Often bought off of massdrop for $100-$150
