After doing some more research, not sure if I'll be able to build myself a PC after all. I need to buy a monitor, keyboard, mouse, and a desk too which is going to add up to like $1000 or something. Looks like I'll be sticking with consoles....
Game with you TV bro.. Use the same LCD/Plasma you use to play a console..
You can use an Xbox 360 or a PS3 controller on your PC. If the game says "Games for Windows" on the box, the 360 controller will work natively and support is built-in by design; meaning, the game will prompt you to "Press RT to fire!" rather than mapping it to something akin to "Button 7." In this way, the game can be played in it's entirety, from launch to end, via a controller - no keyboard or mouse required.
As far as a keyb/mouse combo, you can buy a cheap wireless setup from Microcenter for $19.99.. It'll get you through boot-up, and allow you to launch your game. At that point, pick up the controller and play on your TV, just as if it were a 360 - but with better graphics, gameplay, mod-ability, etc.
