if in the US pi3 is only $35 (at MCM Electronics and at Micro Center )... And you can get a 32GB UHS-1/HC-1 micro sdcard for like $12 (last time I checked 64GB UHS-1/HC-1 micro sdcards ran approx $20 (at least at Bestbuy)).

Re: I (partially) burned my Raspberry Pi 3

You don't have a pi3, do you? No selectable overclock options/settings in raspi-config. All overclocking must be done in /boot/config.txt no i don't, and perhaps never will do... then on RPi3 only the force turbo option is applicable to what i sayed. force_turbo=1 keeps only the clock of the cpu in...

Does overclocking like arm_freq=1250 do? no idea, but for sure the settings that raspi-config is making are all safe - safe in meaning of it will not set a waranty bit - but it does not mean, your RPi will run stable on other than the standard default, even those settings made by raspi-config. forc...

Regarding your first statement, the SD card is plugged directly into a Pi USB port, not into the powered USB hub (I think that's what you're asking). I agree - the keyboard should have power.
