How does one go about linking an xbox controller up to a PC?

I'm finding the use of a conventional keyboard with flight simulator X hard, does anyone know how you should go about linking an xbox controller up with a computer and then using it to contol flight simulator? Do yo need to buy any extra pieces of hardware, or just change your settings?
