Best method and software to convert vinyl to cd

I'm looking for some advice on the best setup for converting some classic jazz lps to cd format.

What considerations should be taken to ensure the best transfer possible (understanding some loss may be expected)? What impact does the sound card in the PC have on the recording? Can you make a recommendation for a card well suited for this task?

Also, what PC software is recommended to perform the splits and pop/click cleaning?

My apology in advance if this topic has been covered perviously and thanks for any advice.

I use a Sound Forge 5.0 Program.I record on my modified reel to reel recorder run the outputs to my inputs of my sound card with as high a quality ic as possible.I put the WAV file on my Sound Forge Program.The program also has vinyl restoration,and Noise Reduction 2.0
I do not utilize this due to the main program offering this already ina round about way.
I enlarge the sine wave to close too 1:1 in resolution.With the wave blown up this big I can clearly see the record tick and can click on that.Once I click on that part of the signal then I click on superimpose and the program removes the click only and nothing else.This works very well but is very time consuming,and this method for me is only recommended for disks without to many clicks if possible.
