For playing a game on one computer and streaming on another I know I need a capture card, but I know nothing about capture cards and don't know the brands. Any thoughts or recommendations? 

Insanity is not the absence of sanity, but the willingness to ignore it for a purpose. Chaos is the result of this choice. I relish in both.

don't need anything fancy or expensive, just something that will get the job done, streaming sims

The only known brand I know is Elgato with the HD60 & pro cards. Maybe AVerMedia?

The HD60 seems to be about 150, are there any reliable capture cards cheaper or is that pretty standard?

What about this guy on amazon

Elgato delivers support and a product you know will reliably work. The link you sent seems reasonable but has a ton of complaints about corruption, hard to use and not working on consoles.
