"1. The comfort factor of a peripheral controller is a preference and differs between person-to-person. You asked if I though the keyboard and mouse is more accurate and comfortable than the controller. My answer is yes, the K&M is more accurate because controllers has sight but notice latency due to the wireless link between console. A gaming mouse provides unrivaled level of accuracy because of its point n click nature. As for comfort factor the controller is superior in my mind, especially the xbox 360. Thing was made to fit on your hands. I even plug in a 360 controller to play games like splinter cell conviction and GTA IV. Thats right, I can play PC games on a controller and everything works like what you'd expect from a console. All "Games for Window" and Multiplats has 360 controller support and is plug n play which solves and answers your first challenge.
2. The Specs and system recommendation: All systems runs games differently but how do you know if yours is up to the performance? Compare and Contrast other cards of similar performance and look for benchmarks. Or if you wanna be lazy, try this site: http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri. It certainly not as accurate as benchmarks but you can have some clue.
3. Couch vs desk chair, 20 feet or 3 feet away from your screen? You don't need to choose because a PC can pluged into an HDTV and be played from any distance you want, provided you have a wireless controller w/ adapter or one with a long enough cord. Any more challenge"
