I'm looking into budget gaming keyboards/mice. Right now, I have three candidates:

Redragon Vajra/Centrophorus
Redragon Yaksa/Nemeanlion
Cooler Master Devastator II (any color)

It seems like the Vajra is a solid budget option. The Devastator is good apart from the letters on the keyboard not being readable sometimes. Yaksa seems like a more high-end version of their budget bundles.

Which one should I pick? Feel free to add more suggestions, but keep the price to a minimum because I don't need anything better.
 
after looking at the 3, If it were me, I would go with Cooler Master Devastator II. Looks cool, good price, LED coolness, and the mem-chanical keyboard sounds like a neat idea all for that price.

Honestly, i just like how the Devastator looks, so badass!!! I'm sold on cosmetics :(

I actually own a Redragon keyboard (specifically the Redragon ASURA K501) which is slightly more expensive (especially when I bought this back in March 2015) than the ones listed in the poll but unfortunately doesn't seems to have any bundle offers with a mouse.

The biggest draw to the keyboard is the ability to swap arrow/wsad keys (which is convenient for gaming). LED backlights (multiple light colors change with a light bulb key which are able to be dimmed or turned up by a knob at top center as well as a pulse feature (dims/brightens while changing colors), macro recording used to set up programmable function keys and a few other here features here and there that I don't actually use myself like F1-12 keys have alternative functions like volume control while holding FN key.

Even though this doesn't help since your looking for a bundle, I thought I'd at least say Redragon makes quality products. There is a good weight to the keyboard and this is probably due to the sturdy plastic and other parts used.
 
I voted "other"
You seem focused on "budget" accessories so
have you looked at Logitech's line ?
I don't see it listed up there.
They have a pretty good line up,
for budget gamers.

Believe me though you buy a gaming Keyboard or mouse, the primary part is always Ergonomics. If the KB or Mouse doesnt have proper comfort level then its no worth of investing on them. 2 months back I have researched no of keyboards and Decided to go with Circle Adroit X 7C keyboard. And I am happy with it.

I would recommend you

CM storm II is also a good choice, but I would choose which has a wide wrist rest one.
