Apologies if this doesn't belong, I tried to ask this in r/Gamecube but for some reason my [post was taken down for being "off-topic..." whatever the fuck that means lol.
I've recently been building my Gamecube library back up, and I've decided I wanna try my hand at speedrunning and possibly some streaming. Of course to do that, I'm gonna need a capture card, but I'm unsure which one I should go for. I found some links on an older post on that sub, but they're all either defunct or "currently unavailable." So, which card should I go for? And I'm going to need a digital AV adapter as well, so which one should I buy? My console is an early model (or I assume so, since it has a digital AV output) but I can't find the component cable so I figure my best bet would be like an HDMI adapter. So which adapter should I go for? For the card and the cable I'm trying to stick to around $50-$75 a piece if that's a possibility. Trying not to spend too much money but I'm also not afraid to if I have to. Thanks in advance to anyone who can give me some pointers.

Not twenty minutes after I got Naomi out of the shop today, I got rear-ended. No one got hurt, save for my pride, and I can still drive her. No leaks, no nothing, just a fender-bender. I was back on the road in maybe twenty minutes, but she's my pride and joy, y'know? I absolutely baby this car. I mean, I won't even eat in her after having her damn near a year, she's my entire world. There's also a lot of sentimental value tied up in her, but that's a long story and I'm yapping enough as it is. But I say all that to say it's hit me a lot harder than it should... emotionally speaking, that is. Sorry if this is kind of meandering, I'm still a little bit shook up from it all. Not my first accident by any means, or even my worst at that. But given just how much she means to me, this one definitely hurts the most. But I also kinda feel like I should get over myself? I mean, it's nothing that insurance won't be able to take care of. But it still hurts like hell, I've been going through a lot lately as it is and she's been kind of a safe space for me through it all. Kinda the one constant in my life through all the chaos. Thought she'd at least be safe from all that, but I guess not.
Anyways, enough of the sadgirl shit. Figured I'd end this on a positive note and share a couple pics from my drive the other night. If you couldn't tell by now, I'm a sucker for sunsets lmao. But yeah, "Best of times, worst of times" and all that. Other than that, just wanted to let High Zociety^(TM) know that somehow by the grace of God I ain't dead yet and remind y'all to keep your head on a swivel. Stay safe out there and enjoy the ride while you can, space cowboys.
