Just one pointer here if anyone is actually in this thread considering buying OP's PC and reading the many instances of "use whatever controller you happen to have in the house with it" Well there is an exception to that, while you can use both ps3/x360 controllers with a PC, it has to either be the wired variant of the X360 controller or else you need to buy a usb adapter to use it with a PC, the wireless controller with a play and charge cable is only used for charging the batteries in the controller, no actual controller data can use that usb connection for PC gaming.
Like I said you can get adapters to use them with the PC but going with a ps3 or a wired 360 pad is just slightly easier if you happen to have those readily available.
