Hi there,
With that monitor it will be pretty simple.
Connect the monitor to the PC graphics card using the DVI port. Connect the monitor to the Xbox using the HDMI port. Switch between inputs using the buttons on the monitor bezel.
There are speakers on the monitor, but they are pretty poor quality and face backwards. I would strongly suggest using other speakers or a headset to get sound out of the Xbox (there is a 3.5mm stereo port on the monitor which outputs audio from the HDMI connection).
