keyboard. i've tried modern mechanicals and even had a old school buckling spring keyboard before, but none of them were anywhere near interesting enough to justify the price when i can buy a perfectly good $10-15 membrane or dome that'll last just as long and be half as loud or better

Seasonic. 10 year warranty. Last one lasted 15 years and wasn't failing. Just wanted a beefier one.

Inside or peripherals? Inside, the Soundcard, (yes, I have a separate Soundcard) or the RAM Kits, depends on the daily Price Fluctuations. Outside, Periphery wise, the Mouse. Little Hint, NEVER skimp on a PSU, its the most important piece of the PC

Also on that note, it's probably the one that people know the least about. It's chocking how many would choose a no name 1000w PSU over a brand name 550w. Even if they just have an i3 and rtx3050.

Coolant. (Air)

Air is quite reliable though. I have a dual heat sink on my processor and it works great.

Definitely the PSU, but it's not a bad one, it's still a pretty expensive PSU.
I'd say even my RAM is more expensive than the PSU, but I DO have 128gb, so... yeah...
Actually probably the motherboard is cheaper... and the m.2 wifi card... which I don't even use except for bluetooth
