Well I'm getting a graphics card I thought I would try a little PC gaming the first game I'm going to get is motoGP 08 because I been wanting to play it ever since a played the demo for 360 and it is only $8. I would prefer a controller with a joystick and dpad and as cheap as possible but still good quality i would like to have something that will work with most games. I don't really know how the whole games and controller thing works does any controller work for any game or what. I'm looking to spend around $20 on it but more is ok.

Also if I buy a usb cord for my xbox 360 controller then plug it up to my computer will it work if anybody knows that would be helpful.

Afaik you cannot use the wireless 360 controller with the pc, but dont quote me on that. Microsoft has an xbox360 controller out for the pc though that is wired, and last time i checked around $35 at newegg.

You can, but its just easier to use a wired controller if you already have one, but you can't use the USB charger cable to connect a wireless controller. Does not work, tried it.

Yea I figured that I might be able to find someone to trade me a wired controller for a wireless one.

Edit: I cant find any website or store that still sales the Microsoft Wireless Gaming Receivers other then eBay and Amazon but people are charging $30+ on eBay and $60+ on Amazon. Anybody know where I can get one for $20 I will just buy a xbox 360 windows controller before I spend $30 on a receiver to make mine work.

Yep that's what I keep hearing now all I got to do is find one of those Microsoft wireless gaming receivers so I can use my wireless controller and mic. I think my dad has a wired 360 controller he will probably trade it to me for one of my wireless ones.
 
Got me a wired 360 controller today my dad just gave it to me since he doesn't use it so once I get my PSU/GPU and my games i can play.
