Need a webcam with excellent capture quality. Also need to know if it supports self-recording (capture video like a camera for preparing presentation and later upload to youtube).

Which brand/model will suit this purpose? I see many sub-1k Logitech (good brand that?) models but also Logitech Pro 9000 for 3400rs. at Logitech Pro 9000 Webcam - Logitech: Flipkart.com

My setup is around 4 years old: AMD Phenom + Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-S2HP + 4GB RAM + 22" monitor + Samsung SSD added recently.

You can go with either Logitech or Microsoft as these are the reputed brands and they offer good warranty as well. The one specified above is also good but any how its your choice.

What's the difference between sub-1k Logitech models and Logitech Pro 9000 selling for 3400rs?

Just the clarity or otherwise called as resolution.I don't think even streaming is based on the webcam but based on your Internet plan. If you want more clarity then here you go: Webcam - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

One query I have about webcams in general is whether there will be a window in which i can see myself talking?
