I'm a new PC gamer.  Right now I only use my mouse and keyboard to
play games, which isn't a great experience.  Can someone tell me what
jostick would be good to play C&C and other PC games?

Don't buy a joystick to play games like C&C, they're only really 
designed (and only really used) for driving and flying games. Gamepads 
are used for slightly more things, such as Fifa but you still wouldn't 
want to play a strategy game with them.

If you want a reasonable one though, I have a Logitech Wingman Force 3D 
which has force feedback, throttle, rudder, 7 buttons and cost about £30 
which is plenty for the average gamer. If you want to get serious you 
could but the Hotas Cougar for £249 but it's up to you........
