Using a PC as the main control is certainly doable. The only issues is that PC's are full of driver conflicts and hardware compatibility issues making it sometimes a pain to get working. Make sure you buy a good motherboard and lots of ram.

I also have one more quick question. I was wondering if i used the HDMI connection from my pc videocard then where does my sound card come into play?

If your sound card is new it should have a connection to your video card so that it will pass the audio through the HDMI cable however if it does not you will still have to pass the audio via SPIDF or Coax from the sound cards digital out and you will not get the uncompressed audio from BluRay (if your getting a BD drive) using that route.
