Hi , im thinking of getting a LCD TV and a HTPC but i have a little confusion about the setup of my future HTPC with my current audio setup.
I have 5 home theater speakers and a subwoofer with a yamaha HT receiver at home, but i have no idea how to complete the audio setup with my future HTPC so can any sifu help me on this?
Below is my desired proc , mobo and gc
Proc- AMD x6 proc
Mobo- latest AMD mobo for gaming
GC- ati 5850 (maybe)
My current idea is connect the TV to the graphic card with a hdmi cable for video and audio?
Then connect the HT receiver (with all the speakers and subwoofer plugged) to the TV by using another HDMI cable for audio.
I dont know whether it'll work or not so i need ur help thanks.

Im confused in choosing between a htpc or a standalone bluray player.
Could anyone give me some comments?
Are there any advantages of a standalone bluray player over a htpc?

What about picture quality? will there be any difference? lets say the comparison between a pioneer BHD-320 with 48 bit deep colour vs a high end htpc with good media player softwares like powerdvd 10 and classic home cinema with also the latest graphic card like 5770/5850.
