Ok so this will be kinda hard to explain but here goes nothing
So i want to connect both my xbox and PC to some sound system and then be able to switch between them. Now i was hoping of getting something decent like 5.1 or something like that.
Now the Logitech z906 seemed pretty decent and seems to allow me to do so but from reviews it seems that they are ****ty especially when it comes to mid frequencies. That is why it is my last resort if I dont find what i need
Now both my pc and xbox have Optical Audio and hdmi (somewhat). From my Xbox i can also get 2 RCA channels (left and right). MY pc supports up to 7.1 analogue (using 3.5mm jacks) aswell.
Now back to HDMI. My Xbox does have HDMI and so does my GPU (i currently own a GTX590). But i was hoping that later this summer i would get 2 more Monitors and setup 3d surround. I was hoping of connecting my 3 monitors using DVI and then get the sound from the HDMI, but i am not sure if this will work. (anyone knows?)
Now before you start asking why would i 'stress' on using hdmi, i also had this system in mind:

Now this is awesome and i am on the verge of buying it if not for the problem that might arise later on when i try to connect my 3 monitors.
First of all would connecting 3 monitors to dvi and then the amp with the hdmi cause any problems?
If it does can i use some sort of hdmi splitter amp so that i can connect one hdmi output to the pioneer amp and the other one to my monitor
(Btw this is my monitor: http://benq.co.uk/products/LCD/index.cfm/product/1157)
I also found out that the pioneer amp does output video signal with the hdmi, so i could connect one monitor to the pioneer amp and then connect the output to my main monitor. Just dont know if i would have any latency.
Ok just as a recap :
I Have this GPU:

I really want this:

I was hoping of getting a total of 3 of these and connecting them to my pc:

Bottom line:
I want to be able to use a surround system by connecting 3 monitors to the DVI of the Graphics Card, and output the sound signal via the HDMI of the Graphics Card by connecting it to the amplifier. Is this possible? If not, can i somehow connect one monitor to the HDMI (either by using a separate amp splitter, or by connecting it to the HDMI Out of the pioneer amp), and the 2 other monitors using the dvi ports?
What can i do?
If you have any other ideas for other sound systems i am open but pls keep in mind i was hoping of not spending more than 400 euros and i need to connect my xbox to it aswell and switch between pc and xbox
thank you
