The montly fee is only for MMORPGs like World of Warcraft and Lord of the Rings Online.And what are your system specs? Processor, motherboard and ram make a big difference too. There's no point in recommending a high-end card if rest of your rig is low-end. There's even a chance that a high-end card won't even fit your motherboard.
its got 4gb ram, Intel Core Quad Processor Q6600 (2.4GHz, 1066FSB, 8MB), 500GB hardrive

If you have the USB controller you can just plug it in and it should work. A wireless controller needs the wireless adapter for the PC. It costs like 20 bucks
