PC music to AV receiver

[iduhfuse66]

Hi guys, so I have this sweet set-up in my living room but I need help getting the best audio quality possible from my PC to the receiver. Currently, I have my pc hooked up to the receiver via HDMI. I don't have a sound card, but can get one if it is recommended for this set-up. The majority of sound files on my computer are 320kbps mp3s. I do have some high quality flac, wav and dxd files. What is my best choice (keep in mind I'm trying to save money) and what will I need? Thanks.

and btw, having video go to the receiver isn't a necessity for me.

My setup:
Polk audio 5.1 surround sound or stereo for 2 channel music. Doesn't have to be 5.1 if that won't work.
Pioneer VSX 823k
Custom built PC with HD 5770 graphics card (hdmi to receiver)
NO sound card.

You already have the highest quality possible. HDMI will send a bit-perfect signal to the receiver, exactly identical to the source.
