It depenends on your os
98 should be restarted every so often
xp can be left on but mine start to slow down after a while
try win server 2003. that should work for a long time

If i remember well theres tons of hardware it doesn't have drivers for and playing most games is fairly unlikely.

technicly there is no reason to restart a PC at all (I've had machines that have been on 5years+ with out a powerdown/restart)
The only thing that forces restarts is the OS due to it's instability

To exceed more than about a couple of weeks of uptime (normal usage) on a computer u need error correcting ram (much more expensive) otherwise even if the os is perfect a fault in ram will crash it. Suns and other unix machines which are left on permanently all have ECC ram.
