The same XFX card is only $155 on Amazon, and comes with free 2-day shipping if you have Amazon Prime. I don't think you get the 3 free games with it, but you save a good $23. Also, I have a copy of Tomb Raider which I've been meaning to give away, so let me know if you want it.
A 7950 with 3GB of memory is also available on Amazon for $265. Here's a version of the 7950 that's selling for $245 on Amazon too (and also has the free 2-day prime shipping/free 7-day shipping for non-Prime members). However, despite being slightly slower, the 7850 is a better bang for your buck than the 7950.
You may also consider the XFX AMD 7870 2GB, which is available on Amazon for $220 (also with the free 2-day/7-day shipping).
If you want to go the nVidia route, the XFX 660 can be had for $199 here, and it is a bit quicker than the 7850. This XFX 650Ti ties the 7850, and costs $170.
Better than all of these cards would be an nVidia GTX 760, which costs $260 on Amazon or $250 on NewEgg, but that might be out of your price range. Still, I'd strongly recommend it if you're considering stepping into the $200+ range. Here's a helpful chart comparing its performance in BF3 to the GTX670, the AMD 7950, etc., and here's a similar chart that compares the 7850 to the 7950 and some others.
If I were you, I'd go for this XFX 660, which I also linked above. At $199.99, you get performance that's quite noticeably better than the 7850, even a bit better than the still-more-expensive AMD 7870 which costs ~$220, and it comes overclocked out of the box with a 980MHz core clock (the stock speed on these cards is 900MHz, I think). It also has 2GB of VRAM rather than the 1GB on the XFX 7850 you mentioned, which is quickly entering the too-little-memory territory as games continue expanding the resolution of their textures, the complexity of scenes, etc. Not to mention that 2GB of video memory will allow deferred antialiasing and higher texture quality settings to have a lower impact on your FPS than cards with only 1GB of memory.
You could always hook an Xbox 360 controller up to your computer. I've got one of these:
http://www.amazon.com/electronics/dp/B004QRKWKQ
and it works great. I don't use it for BF3 because I'm a lifelong keyboard/mouse player for FPSes, but I played through GTAIV with it and had an absolutely stellar time; it was just like playing on a console, except at my desk instead of on the couch.
I know you can also find just the receiver, if you've already got a 360 controller to pair with it, but I wanted an extra controller anyway so I just got the above.
Something to consider, is all. :-)
edit: Forgot to answer the question. It usually takes me about a round to warm up and find my groove. Sometimes if I'm not getting it, I'll go to a slightly faster-paced (in my opinion) game like CS:GO for a couple rounds to get the "playbads" out of me.
I've got a hugeass mousepad. It actually sits under my mouse, keyboard, and still has room. It's a little wider than the section of desk I have it on (this is my desk, which I would highly recommend), but I love it all the same. I've got plenty of room for all of my shit.
I like my Corsair mouse quite a bit, though it's just a wee bit over the $50 parameter at $59.
Per Araziah's suggestion, I've started using f.lux. I used to use it on my (jailbroken) iPhone, and I think it is a great app/program.
I've been a Logitech fan all my life but I felt like their quality has been slipping for a few generations. I tried a few different mice that I ended up returning for various reasons, but ended up with a Roccat Savu and I absolutely love it. Couldn't recommend it more.
Samson GO Mic nice separate mice that is portable if you need it to be. Has Omni Directional and Condensor options. Pick mine up at Best Buy for 40 bucks.

There you go man :)
The WD Caviar Black.
You can get them for $90 on Amazon, and they're very reliable and fast.
The general consensus on places like /r/gamingpc are to get a really nice headset (like this one) and then get a clip-on mic (like this one). I bought the wired version of the Logitech posted here (I have the G35) and I wish I went this route instead. That said, I'd get a wired headset, not a wireless; the g35 is good quality, but you'll find it is close to the same price as what I posted above.
I don't know why people give this advice. I bought one of those Zalman things and it's annoying as fuck. The "clip" (more like a little c-shaped piece of plastic) is way way too loose to stay on your shirt or headphone cables. It's constantly moving around. The only way I can get it to work is to fold up my shirt and shove it in. And honestly, this fucking mic is the only reason I wear a shirt while gaming, 9 times out of 10.
Personally, what I'm doing is going back to what I did before: buying a cheap headset like this one and using my regular music headphones. I just put the headset around my neck, and adjust the mic so it's in the right spot. The headset usually breaks every year or two, but for $13, who cares, just buy a new one.
I use the PX21, little out of date but Amazon has it for $30, just about your price range and not a bad headset at all.
Zalman ZM-MIC1
Less than $8 with Prime shipping on Amazon (also around the same price on eBay). Clips onto your headphones cord (or broken mic arm on your headset like in my case).

For folks with Prime
This appears to be it: http://www.amazon.com/Nexus-SM-7000B-Silent-Mouse/dp/B004FKBZ8M
It's not perfect, there's still a bit of a noise, but it's much quieter than the loud CLICK that I usually get.
