Gaming keyboards worth the price tag?

I like tactile feedback as much as the next guy but $120.00 for a keyboard seems a little excessive when I could spend the extra money on going from a GTX 760 to a 770.

The Corsair Vengeance K70 has some pretty awesome red backlighting but other than that wtf do I need it for?

Copy all. Will stick to a mechanical keyboard. That red backlighting is really sexy.

Haven't had a gaming rig since high school (9 years ago). Don't mind paying a little bit more to roll high just for a little bit (no future proofing, got it).

Do I really need the wireless card and thekeyboards? What do you guys think of the monitor choice?

ALso any experience with the Corsair 350D case?
