I've been thinking about building a PC, and I was wondering if anyone in the community had any advice on the subject. My primary use would be for gaming, though I would use it for plenty if other purposes as well. I found this article; I was wondering what you all think of it:

Price is a factor for me, though I do have a but more to work with than $550 USD.
One other thing I would like advice on is something that falls out of the realm of a typical PC build: a capture card.
I don't need anything too fancy; what I'm looking for primarily is a card that can receive composite input from PAL and NTSC devices (S-video or coaxial) and can output in real-time to the screen. HD capture would be nice, but I have a feeling that would cost more than I would be willing to spend.
