The main thing you have to worry about with pre-builts is that they often throw in an overly expensive CPU along with a underpowered GPU (especially when compared to the CPU) which should be somewhat of the opposite for a gaming PC. Better off cutting some $ off the processor and adding it to a better GPU if you are on a budget.
Using two monitors for different things is different than combining their resolutions, so you will not need a stupidly overpriced 690. Usually if someone isn't using a resolution higher than 1920x1200 I wouldn't even recommend the 680 but in your case since you seem to consider buying the 690, why not? Sounds like you can afford it. Anyhow, the 670 or the 7970 can max anything and still have over 60 FPS with the exception of like Metro2033.
32GB of RAM is beyond overkill. 8GB is usually enough for most people but there is nothing wrong getting 16GB since RAM is so cheap. 32GB, nah, for most people that is like giving money to a drug addict and hoping it is put to good use.
i5 processors are currently the best for gaming since it has some of the strongest individual cores for games that cannot fully utilize the processor. For an AMD fanboy tho, something like a FX-8350 or FX-6300 will be more than good enough to achieve higher than the most desired 60 FPS, assuming your GPU is good enough. I'd say the i5 will usually achieve between 0-25% more FPS compared to FX processors with the strongest individual cores such as the 8350 or 6300.
