These would cost you about 40k, you have 10k to pick a good mechanical keyboard and mouse. Corsair mechanical keyboards costs about 9k.

^ 1600 OCs almost the same as 1600X even on stock cooler. Buying 1600 is a wiser choice.
TVS mechanical keyboard is cheap (~2k) and has cherry mx blue switches. Unless OP needs it to be back-lit and/or have many macro keys, that keyboard should serve his purpose. Use the money saved on getting a GTX 1060 6GB or RX 580 8GB (21-22k).

Sli or crossfire makes no sense unless you want to play at 4k or above with constant 60fps. Then again you'll need two GTX 1080s for that and a X370 mobo.

As for the monitor, what resolution are you aiming for?

When it comes to data storage I never suggest buying used products especially if it is supposed to be used as main/primary disk.

Prime B350 Plus can be a cheaper option for B350-F GAMING,
Try to get "22MP68VQ-P" model
How are you getting ram that cheap?

As for the GPU, get a GTX 1060 6GB or RX 570/580 (8GB) depending on your requirements after the prices stabilize back to normal.
