Don't get started on controller is better than keyboard + mouse arguement because its just simply not. For certain games maybe yes, more efficient, but there are many more games and genres that are better experienced on precision, responsiveness and better key mapping on PC. FPS, mmo, RTS covers a wide number of games. 

Even if you do prefer a controller, the PC has them too.

You can get SNES, n64, Playstation, Dreamcast or Xbox styled controllers, so really, there is something for everyone. :P
Granted, if you use a console styled controller in a multi-player game, you need to expect to get dominated.

@ bolded link (the first one): what is the minimum config a PC must have to run those at, say, at least 30 fps? I don't think mine can handle it :(

(Before someone asks, I have a notebook with I7 @ 3.4, 8 gigs, 2 gigs 7730 HD Mobile GPU).

Good news is, your CPU is fine to run it, you have plenty of Ram, but the main problem is, that GPU.
However, modding is extremely trial-and-error, so, give it a shot and see what you can achieve.

I did a ton of modding to Oblivion back in the day, mainly to get the game to run on origional Xbox classed PC hardware via modified shaders. (I.E. Pentium 3 Tualatin, Geforce 4, 512Mb of Ram.)

Here is what the mod "Ice Enhancer" does to GTA IV, still the most amazing graphics mod IMHO.
My other PC struggles with this even at 1080P with Dual Radeon 6950's and an FX 8120 @ 4.8ghz.
