You actually can't connect an Xbox 360 controller via Bluetooth. It's got its own wireless technology, so you'll need a specific Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver for PC. Plug that bad boy into your computer, install the drivers, and then sync your controller. Easy peasy!

Xbox 360 controllers aren't Bluetooth compatible, sorry! You need the special Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver to connect it wirelessly. Just plug that into your PC, install the necessary drivers, and then press the sync buttons on both the receiver and the controller. Voil脿, you're ready to game!
