Vengeance K70 owner here, I've had mine for several months now and it is a work of art. My favorite part is the volume roller, I love volume control on my keyboards and this thing is just classy. It feels like adjusting the volume on some sort of high-end audio equipment. The key switch LEDs are pretty neat too, but they're not why I bought it and I typically leave them turned off.

You can disable the LEDs, although to do so requires the Logitech gaming software.

I've been using a G502 since the beginning of this year and have been nothing but pleased with it. I bought it partly for the unlockable scroll wheel, there's nothing quite so satisfying as spinning the wheel at high speed. You can set the DPI to ludicrously high levels as well, which I guess future-proofs it to a certain extent if nothing else.

As for keyboard, a few months ago I picked up a Corsair Vengeance K70 with red switches, and this thing is totally boss. I love Corsair's design aesthetic. It looks slick as fuck and is easy to clean below the keycaps, as they're not recessed into the casing like most keyboards. Got red LEDs too, but that's not what I bought it for - I get the appeal of LED key switches but it's just not my thing.

I'm visualizing this on my Nexus 7, scrolling along with my home screens. That would be brilliant. I don't know the first thing about Android development, sadly.

I don't know if there really are any affordable M.2 SSDs out there right now. Regardless, Samsung seems to have a pretty good reputation among SSD users. I can't say I disagree, I own an 840 EVO 250GB and have been nothing but pleased with it (except I wish I had got a 500GB one instead, but whatever). On a good day I can restart my system for updates and be back online within a minute, I've timed it. Windows 7's boot animation doesn't even finish one cycle before the login screen appears.

As for the motherboard, I have yet to go wrong with ASUS. At a cursory glance, the Z97-A has VGA, DVI, HDMI, and DisplayPort on the rear panel, as well as an M.2 port. My current system runs on the somewhat less expensive Z97-E, which doesn't have onboard HDMI or DisplayPort but does still have M.2. If you did plan on buying a discrete graphics card in the end, you could possibly get away with using the onboard VGA simultaneously with the card's DisplayPort and save a little on the motherboard, but I've never done this myself so I'm not 100% sure (and it's a $30 difference at best anyway).

Definitely one of the slower ones, even at 1x I get 49 fps at max. Scaling it up doesn't impact the framerate that much though, which is nice.
