Given that you already own the powered 7.1 speaker system, you are really just looking for [the functions of] a
pre-amplifier/surround-processor or
tuner/pre-amplifier/surround-processor; using a receiver to do this could be considered overkill.
You have given no indication of how you plan to use your system, e.g., number and type of AV sources, or which decoders must be included. So making an intelligent comparison of the Onkyo's and the Yamaha's feature sets for you is not possible. The gigaworks pc speakers and Onkyo TX-SR606 receiver are a somewhat incongruous combination...?
You would get better advice on what to buy by posting in the "AMPs, Receivers, and Processors" Forum, but the value of the help you get will depend heavily on how well you can define and articulate your requirements...
