Does anyone have links to these types of setups? or does anyone have knowledge on this? I think i am ready to get rid of these Klipsch promedias.

The Klipsch's are probably the best sounding comp surround sound speakers you'll get for $250.
I personally wouldn't get rid of them.

What exactly are you looking for? Just buy a home theater set, or put one together and hook it up to your PC. There really aren't any PC specific features that you need to look for.

Yeah but i heard in order to get the subwoofer going you need to get another reciever, thats why i am asking for a guru's opinion. Then i heard that that you lose the 3d sound or something threw the receiver, i don't know how true it is but i am waiting for someone in here to show me the way how to do it.

You just need to make sure the reciever you buy has analog 5.1 inputs, this allows you to directly connect your soundcards front and rear speakers to the reciever and still get 3D sound.

Yes, you have to have a receiver. You don't have a theater setup without a receiver. What do you mean by another receiver? You need one Dolby Digital/DTS capable receiver if you want surround sound. If your soundcard has digital out, be it coax or tos you should be able to get surround. Obviously, the receiver needs to have the connectors as well. You can also go the analog route as mentioned above and find a receiver with 5 channel input.
