Fast data tranfer to PC

Hallo, I am trying to implement a new project where I want to use an FPGA as a kind of DAQ system. Basically the FPGA is reading about 70 sensors sending asynchronously with a maximum bit rate ...

Thank you all for your answers. So far the easiest solution seems to be USB to UART. The DE0-Nano board has already integrated FT2232R chip so no additional hardware implementation required. To make a correction in my first post each sensor has a speed of 690kbits/s. Correct me if I am wrong, but if I have 70 sensors then I will need 70*690=48.3Mbit/s so if I use the FT2232R it would be sufficient for my application cause offeres rates up to 3Mbaud/s.
