My receiver is a Onkyo HT-R518. I connected my PS3 to it via an optical cable from the digital output to the digital input(Optical 1) in my receiver. I then selected the Optical 1 option on my receiver and switched the sound settings in the PS3 to Optical as well but I dont get any sound. What could be the problem?
Decision made guys, I am going with the PS3. Just too many incredible exclusives to ignore. Oh and I forgot to mention Gran Turismo 5....another amazing game.
I doubt I will be able to save money for a new card in just 3,4 months:P

You dont have to buy them immediately. Your 9600gt will probably last you till the end of the year and most likely well into 2010. I say stick with that vga and in 12-18 months when it will have trouble running new games go with a new vga ( by that time the new series vga's will get price drops and cards in every category from low end gaming to high end) This is what I pretty much plan on doing. My current rig I am going to make it a media center where i can do Tivo like functions on it. I want to build a new rig and buy vga(s) last. One thing about crysis is hard with the mouse and KB setup because I sit in my desk chair and game. I needa go wireless and find a way to make my setup more comfy for crysis. I am thinking about using a 360 controller but how well do they work with games like crysis?
A 360 controller is your best bet for any PC game since all games support it unlike the PS2 controller where I always needed Joy2keys help. My only complaint would be the D-pad but you hardly use it except for fighting games (SF4 is coming soon to the PC). I tend to prefer the mouse and Keyboard for FPS since I have a wireless setup but for games like Assassin's Creed, FIFA 09, a 360 controller is sweet.
