This is currently the joystick I have and plan on using. I have a very limited budget. Is this a pretty respectable stick? Or should I buy a seprate throttle?

Also I am not good with computers. I think the computer I currently own (its in the shop so I cant check) is this: EDIT its ACTUALLY a Dell XPS 8500! Would this computer be able to run MWO based on the specs provided today? If so, probably on what settings? sorry to bother such a great community with such basic questions but you guys are all I got! I gratly appreciate any help!
Edit: The specs are...

• 3rd Gen Intel® Core™ i7-3770 processor (up to 3.90 GHz)
  
• Windows® 7 Home Premium, 64Bit, English
  
• 12GB Dual Channel DDR3 SDRAM at 1600MHz
  
• 2TB 7200 RPM SATA Hard Drive 6.0 Gb/s
  
• NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 640 1GB GDDR5
  
• 1 Year ProSupport with 1 Year NBD Limited Onsite Service After Remote Diagnosis
  
• Genuine Windows^® 7 Professional

P.S. this is basically me right now lol:

Yea you should be okay. BTW the requirements have been posted.

My experience with the wingman was that the stick twist (Z axis) lost its calibration quickly - doesn't matter which model, I went thru 3 or 4 in short sucession My first one lasted a year, my last one lasted 3 months

I'm currently using a thrustmaster, it's maybe not had quite as much of a hammering as my old logitechs had to be fair - but its been ok over the last 7 years, and its only just started to drift its calibration on the vertical axis. I'm still able to re-calibrate to get rid of the drift right now, where as the logitechs quickly wore out and couldn't be calibrated

Hope this helps?

That does in fact help. If it wears out entirely I will just get the 50 hotas stick/throttle on amazon. But I never really had the hang of the torso twist in other MW games so I don't think that'll be an issue since I don't use it.
