If you want to copy images from your PC by connecting the PC and the XBox 360 then that is the way to go but Jstncase has the simplest and most efficient method, use a portable medium that is compatible with both devices.
You don't need Windows Media Center you can also have just regular Windows XP.

Link to download Microsoft's Zune software, which will then allow your Computer to share Music, Videos and pictures with your XBOX 360.
Had to get more info for you:
This method will connect you to just fine with Music files, Video and Pictures on your PC that appear to be your own files. It will not play any full feature movies unless you have Zune capable movies on your computer. It will also download any codecs needed for video play.
As for downloading and copying pictures from your PC to your XBOX it will only allow you to set it as your background to your dashboard. If you want a custom Avatar for Xbox Live you will need a Xbox Vision Camera. All avatars available to the general public have to be Microsoft approved. Any custom Avatars that people have are only available to people on your friends list to keep from obsenities being shown.
With your Xbox Vision Camera you can snap a shot of a picture from your computer or someplace else and chose to use it as your Secondary Avatar.
So in response to your question:
1) Yes you can transfer files from your PC to your Xbox
2) No this/these images can not be used as your avatar
