Ok so I wasn't sure where to post this so i guess this should be suffice. So i have a ton of  home videos on tape that i want to get onto my computer. I was wondering if i could just get a external capture card to get them all onto a hard drive. The old camera has a av out to component cable. Do you recommend this or do you have a better way? Also if you do recommend a capture card, what one do you recommend? 

AMD FX-8350 OC to 4.5ghz      Evga gtx 660       SilverStone FT03      Samsung 840 128gb

that sounds like the only option and since you can get 480p capture card for like nothing it isnt much of an investment.

My System Specs: (Short list) i7 4770k, GTX 780, many SSD's, a 2 TB HDD(deceased :( ), Corsair 650D. Full list: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/kchriz6097/saved/8dh7YJ


Upgrade Plan: Acquire some Black Noctuas then add 16 or 32GB of 2133MHz memory

Do you have any recommendations? I plan on getting them into a video editing software then cutting them and sorting them.

This one's a bit more expensive but it's AVerMedia so you know it's going to work as specified. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815100096&ignorebbr=1
