Whats a good tv card that i can plug my sky box, xbox 360 and my other box in to Dont need it for recording just want it to use in my bed room as my tele died the other day and at the moment i dont have the cash to replace it
 
a tv card isn't what u want, TV cards usually come with tuners, so u plug in the aerial/satalite into them and they decode the channels so you can watch TV.

most modern monitors have connections to plug other devices in thou, and some graphics cards have VIVO which will allow you to plug a video source in as well
 
So theres no way of doing it its the sky box and my other box i wanted to plug in to it more than my xbox

Couldn't I just run it threw a RGB cable plug the yellow in to the tv card and some how run the red and white threw a sound card

You can buy tv cards/capture cards which will accept a component input. That's basically what you've posted except it's a usb stick version.

I have done this in the past, note you will need an adapter to go from scart to component cables (Y/R/W). The xbox will work however it won't be HD, it may pay to buy a £15 vga cable for the xbox and use the second input on the monitor if available or just swap the cable over.
