I am thinking about getting a GameCube or a Wii, since it can play GameCube Games too.
I do not have any sort of TV nor did I plan on getting one, I only have a PC with a 16:10 ViewSonic Monitor (which does support 16:9 ratios but with black bars).
Optimum would be a solution where I can just hook up the GameCube to my PC entirely, including sound and displaying the video in some sort of software. What is the best solution for that?
I have found this, but I do not know how the software actually looks like, so I cannot tell if works or not. Do not mention emulators please, since the games I want most cannot be emulated.

That cord you linked to looks like the exact device I would search for if I wanted to do this. If any direct connection from GC to PC is possible it would be an adapter just like that one. I suspect it will simply be plug and play, or download drivers on its own.
This site advises an adapter just like the one you linked, but offers a couple other options.
That site claims the proprietary (japan release only) Gamecube Component Cable is the best, but you will probably have a hard time finding it.
