When I get a new computer I want to be able to play games on my 55 inch Bravia as well as have the audio go through my reciever to take advantage to my home theater system. What kind of hardware will I need to do this? Specific sound card or motherboard? Will I need a high end GPU to play on a tv that size?
 
You would want a good gpu, the onboard sound on most motherboards supports up to 7.1 channel, but something like an asus Xonar or Creative sound blaster X-fi would provide better quality.
 
Would a raedon 4850 be good enough or do I need better. I've never bought a video card before and know nothing about them. What kind of connection would I use to run audio through my receiver?
