Oh okay. Do you have a budget on what you can spend?
Yeah, i have a ¥15,000 on my savings(you can say its in $150)..

for you i would choose an Elgato HD 60, its easy to use but you'll need to buy an HDMI splitter, if you dont want to go this way i would choose the old elgato
Sure do my friendo, i'll take a look at the elgato HD 60, as well on the older one as well :D

I would recommend Elgato 60 and Avermedia Live Gamer Extreme if you just want to play on your computer monitor. No 1 second delay like Elgato, but you need a native US 3.0 .

Oh yeah the Live gamer extreme is CPU INTENSIVE capture card unlike the Live Gamer Portable. Everybody here has mentioned great suggestions on capture cards now it comes down to your computer, budget, and what you feel like would give your videos the most

It will run but your footage will be garbage. What are the specs of your laptop maybe I can help you out finding a good one

I tried opening my laptop yesterday, its a bit stubborn and didnt cooperate with me, so i could'nt get my laptop running right..

The unit is an Acer laptop which has a 1.8gb ram.. Thats all i remember..

Try to find out your processor also so I can find a capture card best suited
