recommend going with PCI Express graphics card, especially if you do a lot of gaming and planning on keeping the PC for quite a few years.

Read up on various hardware reviews at http://www.tomshardware.com/

I would recommend either the WinTV PVR-500 or the WinTV PVR-USB2. Both of these are analog capture cards.

I am currently on the hunt for a good digital capture card, so I can capture high definition TV. If anyone has any insight please let me know.
