So ive been running SP:TFBW (all missions) offline, im on PS4 and have been using the stopwatch on my phone to track my times, and would like to get a capture card for my pc so that i could record the run with a timer then upload it to here for review. My question is what is a good capture card that is user friendly around $150-$160 or less?

That's a good budget for an HD capture card as most of the good quality ones will be around that price.

A lot of people recommend Elgato, but there are also a bunch of people that like Avermedia as well. Both brands have their merits and both are good. In either case, aim to get an internal PCI one as opposed to one that you'll connect to your computer via USB. HD capture cards that use USB can have multiple seconds of delay in the capture (it won't mean anything for accuracy purposes, but it can be noticeable to viewers). The internal ones have very little to no delay in the capture so those are obviously better even though they are probably a bit more expensive than a USB one.

As for being user friendly, the capture cards themselves usually aren't that hard to setup; it's usually just an install of a few drivers. After that, it's just configuring it into your layout using OBS/XSplit/whatever broadcasting software you're using to build your stream layout the way you want and like.

As above, really. I've got an Elgato HD USB card. If you're wanting to stream live then I'd reccommend getting an internal card, since (for me anyway) I get a guaranteed 2-3 second delay. If you're never going to stream, however (or just don't mind the delay) then it's absolutely perfect for the job. Installation was super-easy too.
