Like you said, PS3 has HDCP encryption on it's HDMI out so you can't record that way without a splitter. However, you can use the A/V out to record with component cables and external capture hardware like the Elgato HD, Avermedia Live Gamer Portable or Hauppauge HD PVR 2 all have special A/V pieces specifically for that. If I were to recommend one to you, I would probably say the Elgato. It is easy to set up with streaming programs like OBS and the packaged recording software is simple to use. Also, don't sweat over your PC specs; capture cards like these do all the encoding themselves so very little stress is put on your system.
Also, yes, you can use the HDMI and DVI inputs on your monitor to plug both your games and your PC into it and just switch that way if that is what you want to do.
Awesome! That's great! Thanks very much TK_Frampt. If a mod is watching, I guess this thread can be closed now.
