    you can go for the D'Addario Phosphor Bronze ones.. Gauge varies from 10 11 12 .. if you have a cheapo guitar than go for lighter gauge only (thats my recommendation) ... reason being that your guitar's neck might not be able to take the heavy ones easily and it might bent with prolonged use..
    the phosphor bronze strings are supposed to have a brighter sound..

    you'll need a converter as in the pic to connect guitar to ur pc microphone in.. and take the output from headphone(which is ur speaker in this case) .. use the software..
    latency is nothin but time delay.. use google dude.. things will be clearer..
