Hmm, well I can't help you with controllers, as I have a two button joystick "Wingman" from 1994 or so, and a sidewinder controller that's all digital.
However, I will say there's Army Operations which you can download for FREE (since it's essentially the latest commercial for the army). It's pretty fun I'd say, and now they have medics. You can give that a shot if you aren't quite ready to actually pay for an FPS.
Starcraft is something we USED to yell at you (though it's still a good game as it ages well), but now it's mainly Warcraft 3. The gameplay focus is different enough though that you should get both anyway :D.
I've heard good things about Morrowind, but haven't actually got it myself.
Oh, and good luck finding Monkey Island games... I myself just barely managed to find Monkey Island 3 and 4 in a bargain bin a few months ago (along with Grim Fandango).
Since I myself am also fairly recent in the current PC generation, I too need some assistance in knowing what I should be playing. I have the two main killer apps o' the moment (Warcraft 3 (plus Frozen Throne) and Battlefield 1942(no expansion yet)), but aside from that I'm not sure what I should get next. I've been thinking about getting an RPG for a while, but can't decide which one to get. I do know I want Siberia 2, well I think I want it, because it's an actual NEW adventure game which I've heard some good things about.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
