Need help for getting New Audio Setup

So this is the equipment I have so far in my livingroom:

Samsung LN-T4069F HDTV
SA 8300HD HD-DVR Cablebox
Toshiba A30 HD-DVD Player
PS3 40gb
Wii
Logitech Z-5500 5.1 Speaker System
IMPACT ACOUSTICS™ 3-PLAY™ HIGH PERFORMANCE COMPONENT VIDEO/DIGITAL AUDIO SELECTOR (To connect System Audio to the Z-5500)
Desktop PC Connected via DVI-HDMI Cables
Logitech Harmony 880 Universal remote​

I am thinking of upgrading my audio and not sure how to do it right to get that Home Theater sound/feel.
I checked out the ConsumerSearch web review and am still kinda confused:
http://www.consumersearch.com/www/electronics/home-theater-systems/

I have my PS3 for my Blu-Ray viewing and my Toshiba A30 for HD-DVD Viewing and can use either for upconverted DVD viewing.
So I am thinking I won't need a system with an Upconverted DVD included.

I was thinking the Onkyo HT-SR800 as it has the HDMI IN/Out and also TOSLink or will the Onkyo HT-S990THX be a better setup in the long term?
And thinking that I can just get the Cables-to-Go HDMI or TOSLink Splitter if I need more In/Outs ports.

Would I need a system with HDMI Input/Outputs? I have seen seperate HDMI Switchers with IR Remote control also. http://www.cablestogo.com/product.asp?cat_id=3108&sku=40922
Would I need TOSLink Input/Output? I have a seperate TOSLinkSwitchers with IR Remote control also http://www.cablestogo.com/product.asp?cat_id=3108&sku=40324
What would you guys suggest?

Most important for me is the ability to control everything with my Logitech Harmony 880 Remote.
