I'm not entirely sure what I'm looking for so I'm hoping you guys can help me. I have a set up where my ps3 and my computer lead to the same screen. What I'm looking to do is have the single output of my speakers (in the form of a 3.5 mm jack) with two inputs, one from my computer, the other from my screen, and have selector. So two inputs that can be selected and lead to my speakers so I don't have to unplug it and constantly switch them around.

I have no idea if that's coherent, I hope you can understand what I'm getting at.
 
So you want an input selector. Easy. You can get a cheap one on Amazon, or if you care about quality and don't mind spending a little more, you can get something like this:

This one in particular is nice in that it has easily-selectable input/outputs, and no limit on how many ins/outs you need. It's a nice quality unit (I actually caved in and bought one a couple weeks ago, so I could easily test and compare headphones/amps/sources) and I really like it. The push-toggle switches have a pretty nice solid feel to them, and the entire thing is made out of metal.

You might have to buy a few cables/adapters to suit your plug needs (maybe some mini->RCA adapters for your computer) but those are cheap from Monoprice.
 
The other way to do it, if your PC is always on, is to feed the console's sound into the PC soundcard's line-in.
