Simply the best 360 controller. It just feels so great when you hold it in your hands. Also it has a proper feedback, which my previous 360 pad - razer onza, didn't. The only thing that can be better than this - is the wireless one.

My PSU is about 210W, and I use it most of the time so, I think it does not effect you PSU :)

A game pad has nothing to do with your psu and more to do with the OS. If you have windows XP or later you can use this controller for your PC.

Not all, only the ones supported.
There is a software called "XPadder" which allows you to use this controller with almost any game :)

Only newer games are supported by this controller but you will have to configure the buttons for each came. Any game later than 2004 is compatible as long as it's not an online game.

Yes I actually use it and it works great. You just plug it in and it will search Windows Update for the drivers. Once it installs you are good to go. :)

Hey, probably go the answer now, this being an old post. But no, It wont work. Wireless controller needs a receiver to work. You can buy the receiver separately though. I wired controller works great though.

I've had the opposite problem where the vibration stopped working so I went and bought a new one. That fixed everything. But with some older games the analog stick and d-pad interfere with one another regardless.

Yes anything with xp or higher can use it but make sure to download the propper software off the microsoft website to be able to use it.
The original xbox had usb 1.1 for the controlers on it and you'd never experince lag from it. The info sent is next to none so what version of usb you have dosent really matter.

Yes I have the same processor but with a Radeon HD 5450 1gb video card. Anayway a gaming pad has little to do with the GPU and more to do with the OS.
