Notes:

1. Strategy games are generally CPU intensive, especially Ashes of Singularity and Total War series. If you are not into very high/ultra settings, you can get 1060 6GB and save some cash.
   
   
2. 8700 and 1060: no bottleneck.
   
   
3. If you are not in need of the Hard disk, considering Total War Warhammer 2 requires 50-60GB, you can save those 3K. :D
   
   
4. Just get the ISO from Microsoft, and get the key for cheaper. Still if you want a DVD, ou will need an optical drive. But that's just wasting your money. Get the key, and be done with it :)And the built-in Anti-Virus is quite good enough. It's been a long time since I installed Bitdefender.
   
   
5. I think you should try for IPS panel monitor. You don't benefit from more than 60 Frames in strategy games, even at competitive level. 30FPS is fine for CIV games. 40-60 are fine for other strategy games.
   
   
6. Whenever building a PC, don't invest too much on keyboard. And when it comes to Strategy and FPS games, you need a good mouse more than you will need a keyboard. Get a good keyboard with Anti-ghosting. And I selected the keyboard solely on the basis of Amazon reviews.

   *Deal of the day price

At the 1k Price point, all backlit keyboards are going to be more or less the same. Buy whichever one that has the best support/warranty. The RedGear one's are pretty decent and comes with an aluminium body as opposed to the plastic competition

If you want elevated keys, this is cheaper https://www.amazon.in/gp/aw/reviews/B073QQR2H2/ref=cm_cr_dp_mb_top?ie=UTF8

Very basic Q. Tried hunting through this subreddits wiki and the one at /r/keyboard but didn't find much.

Got a new mechanical-like, Redgear Blaze which is a cheap but well reviewed keyboard in India.

Have been trying to get used to it but somehow everytime i type on it, it doesn't feel good at all. I think I'm used to low-travel laptop keyboards from 6 years of using exclusively those.

Are there any low-travel, faster keyboards available? I read something about Cherry Silver and Cherry ML keyboards but not entirely sure if they're going to give that low-travel experience.
