Well you might want a faster cpu to start. working with video is very cpu intensive. Here is what I used in the past to transfer my vhs tapes. I installed a video capture card and it was pretty straight forward. Now that I have a dv camera I don't use the capture card anymore. I just installed a firewire card(fairly cheap) for it and it's very easy. As for software well I'm still trying a lot of different software for capturing from the dv camera. Right now I'm using adobe Premier but it's pretty pricey. Nero can capture as well as roxio media creator. I'm sure others will tell you of other software you can use. If you have any other question feel free to ask.
