Which ones have good guitars, for although I play guitar, I don't have a way to hook it to my computer.
Just buy an audio interface, which should connect to one of the USB ports on your computer. Or, if you have a load of money and a relatively new computer, buy an audio interface that connects via Firewire as its transfer rate remains constant, unlike USB, so you are less likely to get stuttering in your recordings.

Once you have a an audio interface you can just connect the guitar to it with a jack lead.

As for programs with decent guitar sounds, Mach Five has some decent acoustic guitar sounds, though I don't if it is available for PC as i've only used it on Pro Tools. You might want to try some of the dedicated guitar software, which you can find on music shop websites. Steinberg make some though I don't know if they sound particularly good, as I find all sampler software that i've used, like NN-19/XT, sound cheap and not particularly realistic.
