I never had a powerful gaming PC before; a decent laptop but not a really powerful desktop PC.  I'm wondering if someone could help me out here.

I see a few places that look tempting to buy from, but I want some advice from some local experts. 

NOTE:  There are two schools of thought I'm going for, and aside of power I'm looking for good heat reduction as well:

1. A PC that is around $500 ($530 at most) with the best specs that you think you could find if you were buying it.

An awesome gaming rig around $500 would be my first choice, but..

2. I'm willing to go to $650 or at the VERY HIGHEST $700, but only if it completely blows anything around $500 away;  and I mean significantly.  Not mildly better, I mean top of the line and could last 5-10 years able to play anything at max setting.  I don't know if that's possible, but well here we are.

So what do these figures include?  Do we also need to budget for the monitor, OS, keyboard, mouse, etc.?
