Help in connecting PC to LCD monitor for video thru hdmi and 5.1 speakers for audio?

I'm planning to buy a high end Graphics card with hdmi output..

I want to connect a lcd monitor with the graphics card thru hdmi cable for hd display..

Aslo for audio, i wnat to connect the pc to a 5.1 speaker set..

Is this possible.. Becoz, my doubt is, as hdmi is an audio/video cable, when i connect to the lcd with hdmi, the audio also will go to the monitor speakers itself.. How is it possible to get the video in lcd thru hdmi and audio thru 5.1speakers..

Or is it better to connect the graphics card and lcd thru dvi.. Is is as hd as hdmi?

Please be very clear..|||The new ati cards provide an dvi to hdmi converter also nvidia has an hdmi output too. I suggest to use the hdmi port only for video and dvd (hd only) if your monitor goes further than 720p or 1080p otherwise use the ''simple'' dvi output. If you want to watch a movie connect it with a big screen with hdmi.

For 5.1 audio I 'd go with the standard solution not the hdmi,through the audio card is still better.

Hdmi and av amplifiers have still some issues too.
