Does your monitor have an HDMI input? You can get an HDMI switcher for around $30.
You need an HDMI to DVI cable if your monitor has a DVI slot. But if it has an HDMI slot, you can plug the HDMI cable directly.
For sounds, you need the component cable (Red,white,yellow), a 3.5mm red and white male adapter and a 3.5mm female to female adapter which can be plugged for your speakers.
Hope this helps. Googling the items I showed you will help. :D
Doing that right now. My PC is connected via DVI, my PS3 by HDMI. If I want to switch, all I have to do is press a button on my monitor and it switches.
I might try connecting my pc to the vga input and the ps3 via hdmi to dvi, so I wont need to keep on plugging things in :D

Its most ideal if your monitor has 2 different digital inputs (either DVI or HDMI). VGA might work too (depending on the monitor), but the quality will suffer if you have to resort to analog connection.
Actually I did the opposite, I have my ps3 and PC hooked up to my tv screen. It was easier this way because the HDTV has an HDMI port as well as a monitor port. No extra parts needed yaaaay.
