Hey guys, you helped me before so it only makes sense to hit you up now that i need help again

I just bought a new 55" LED TV and while I was setting it up I noticed it has a RGB connection for hooking up a PC. That's cool and all but my video card only has DVI so here's my question.....

I have an MSI HD4830OC video card and a Prodigy HD2 sound card in my PC. What would be the best way to connect my PC to my TV? I'm thinking a DVI to HDMI cord, could I do that? Also, I'd like to be able to have my Audio run through my HT speakers when I use the TV as my monitor, is that possible w/o having to keep plugging and unplugging wires into my sound card? At the moment I have RCA to mini phono jack cord running from my sound card to a JVC receiver, which powers a pair of Insignia bookshelf speakers.

Any help would be appreciated.
 
your vidcard didn't come with a DVI to HDMI adapter? what brand is it? HDMI with a passthrough audio to your receiver from the TV, if the TV supports it. Or if your receiver has optical in, and your soundcard has optical out, you could do that. i'm assuming you're not trying to get 7.1ch uncompressed LPCM audio, right? :p
