Hi Jed.
The Kingdom of God is here and now for those who have the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. We have the abundant life in Him.
The Kingdom of Heaven also exists now, except that for us who believe, we will not get there until we leave this world.
God's throne is there and we must put on that immortal body
before we can physically see Him.

The kingdom of God is everythng over which God has dominion... which is in fact everything, full stop.
The kingdom of heaven is yet to come. It will be the place of eternal reward, the new jerusalem located on the new earth, where God and His people will be together forever.

They say if you believe in God and do the right thing all the time (with no sin) you will go to heaven. In other words, it is connected. Two sides of the same coin, I guess.

This is a excellent question. Once I was talking to a Christian and he was honest he said to me it says here in the Bible that Jesus Christ came from Heaven ABOVE. So this means Gods Kingdom is ABOVE heaven.
It makes sense as only ABOVE heaven is the Spiritual World.
Our own view point (Hare Krishna) is this is a fact.
Please see below:
Madhya 23.116 Life' s Ultimate Goal--Love of Godhead
When the King of heaven, Indra, surrendered to Krsna after Krsna raised Govardhana Hill, Lord Indra stated that above the planetary systems wherein human beings reside is the sky, where birds fly. Above the sky is the sun and its orbit. This is the entrance to the heavenly planets. Above the heavenly planets are other planets, up to Brahmaloka, where those advancing in spiritual knowledge reside. The planets up to Brahmaloka are part of the material world (Devi-dhama). Because the material world is under the control of Devi, Durga, it is called Devi-dhama. Above Devi-dhama is a place where Lord Siva and his wife Uma reside. Those brightened by spiritual knowledge and liberated from material contamination reside in that Sivaloka. Beyond that planetary system is the spiritual world, where there are planets called Vaikuntha-lokas. Goloka Vrndavana is situated above all the Vaikuntha-lokas. Goloka Vrndavana is the kingdom of Srimati Radharani and the parents of Krsna, Maharaja Nanda and mother Yasoda. In this way there are various planetary systems, and they are all creations of the Supreme Lord. As stated in the Brahma-samhita:
goloka-namni nija-dhamni tale ca tasya
devi-mahesa-hari-dhamasu tesu tesu
te te prabhava-nicaya vihitas ca yena
govindam adi-purusam tam aham bhajami
Thus Goloka Vrndavana-dhama is situated above the Vaikuntha planets. The spiritual sky containing all the Vaikuntha planets is very small compared to Goloka Vrndavana-dhama. The space occupied by Goloka Vrndavana-dhama is called mahakasa, or "the greatest sky of all." Lord Indra said, "We asked Lord Brahma about Your eternal planet, but we could not understand it. Those fruitive actors who have controlled their senses and mind with pious activities can be elevated to the heavenly planets. Pure devotees who are always engaged in Lord Narayana's service are promoted to the Vaikunthalokas. However, my Lord Krsna, Your Goloka Vrndavana-dhama is very difficult to attain. Yet both You and that supreme planetary system have descended here upon this earth. Unfortunately, I have disturbed You by my misdeeds, and that was due to my foolishness. I am therefore trying to satisfy You by my prayers."
