not quite sure what i need for my setup

[exposure]

i will be going off to college soon, and will be getting a 19 inch lcd monitor. i want to use this as my tv and for playing games on it. i want to record shows, watch tv, and play my xbox. i heard that internal cards have issues with game consoles with a slight buffer causing delay. i also want to play my xbox in high definition. if that wasnt enough i need to make sure its compatible with gb-pvr.

i will be a college kid so the cheapest way to do this is ideal. any ideas would be great. thanks.
