I recently bought a PS3 and think I might as well get a sound system. I have zero experience with audio systems. I mostly stick with headphones on my gaming PC.

I plan on using it for Cable TV, Gaming (PS3, 360, and maybe hook up my PC), and watching anime. I don't really buy DvDs or HD movies nor do I rent them. I usually just watch stuff once and thats it. So you think this might be overkill?

What I picked or would like to get: Total about $550, this is just an estimate. I haven't looked around anywhere else yet.

Onkyo TX-SR605S 7.1 Channel Home Theater Receiver (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000OBLARM******ord_cart_shr?%5Fencoding=UTF8&v=glance)
Onkyo SKS-HT540 7.1 Surround Sound Speaker System (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000GU78Z4******ord_cart_shr?%5Fencoding=UTF8&m=ALAQLAKJ574UN&v=glance)

Do you guys think this would be a pretty decent budget build? My only HDMI products are a 360 and PS3. So the two HDMI inputs are O.K. for me.

If you have any advice or other recommendations of different products, please let me know. I want to keep this under $600. I don't work and I'm in college so going all out isn't an option.

You should check out the Real HT info podcast that Marshall has. New episode today. :)
