hi, so am gonna move to a small apartment, i can't have my giant speakers with me but i want to have my receiver (pioneer vsx 423) and i want to buy the (ViewSonic 32" VX3276-2K-mhd).
so my question is, can i have a hdmi cable from my computer (1060 6gb) to my reciever and then hdmi to the screen (2560x1440)

You'd have to check the manual for the list of supported HDMI resolutions, although I'm not sure receivers bother to mention PC specific ones.  It may only support resolutions a TV will typically support.

Yes I noticed that, no manual on the website.  Apparently you have to contact support for the manual which is stupid.

Absolutely, but optical only supports compressed audio so it wont sound as good.

Its actually quite frustrating how HDMI audio works especially on PC as I once wanted similar, to run audio over HDMI while connected to my DP monitor.  But Windows will only output audio to a display that is active (makes sense though as audio is embedded in the video feed over HDMI) and having an active unused display is a PITA, especially as it can have some impact on performance.
