Home theater PC Sound questions!

[Zake Black]

Hi all,

Hoping some one can advise me on somthing before i go ahead.

Im looking at building a home thearter PC.

Using my existing X-Fi Fatality. (Not the one with the 5 1/4 Bay or the external equivilant)

Im looking at setting up that and my speakers in my living room hooked up to my TV.

Questions is am i able to input sound from either a PS3 or SKY HD into this unit so that it will handle surround sound along with DVD playback from the unit.

Im thinking if it is possible i would reduce the need for an amplifier..

Build detaisl as follows. (For feedback more than anything)

Asus P5E-VM HDMI Intel G35 Micro-ATX (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard

Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 "LGA775 Conroe" 2.66GHz (1333FSB) - Retail

Antec Fusion Black HTPC Case - 430HE Watt PSU

Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 500GB SATA-II 32MB Cache

LG GGC-H20L Blu-Ray Reader & HD-DVD ROM Serial ATA Drive - Retail

OCZ 2GB (2x1GB) PC2-6400C4 Dual Channel Platinum Revision 2 XTC Series DDR2
