This is what I'm looking at, I know for a gamer a $40 budget for jeyboard and mouse is extremely low though, I don't mind buying a "regular" mouse and keyboard, I just have to stay in budget. Any comments on this or any other suggestions are welcome thanks.

Why do you say that, cause it appears the battery life is really long on this set.

Ya I could do $53, It's just when I look at that mouse It makes me think I should get this instead http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-910-000173-G9-Laser-Mouse/dp/B000UHE8Y2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1250698241&sr=8-1 but I don't want to spend almost $70. What do you think?

because of signal dropouts, interference. wired is always better.

Wireless is crap unless you spend 60+ on the mouse and about half that on the keyboard. I always cringe when I see someone with a wireless mouse - unless it's something like a Logitech G7. Wireless mice have very low precision, have all sorts of lag, and are always worse than their wired counterpart.

I'd say deal with whatever keyboard you have, as it doesn't really matter, and put more money towards a mouse.

Hey so a little update, I went over to Radioshack and I got that same keyboard and mouse I was looking at on Newegg on sale for only $30 dollars! Quick question, do you think my wireless keyboard/mouse set will cause a problem with a wireless router thats sending the internet via wifi to another desktop of mine
