You mean besides a receiver?
Nothing else that will really help solve your problem. If you want something slightly simpler, any speaker set that can directly take an optical input would be fine also, although in essence one of the units in the set must be functioning as a receiver anyways.
You're gonna need a 7.1 receiver with HDMI in order to get the full 7.1 sound out of the PS3. Optical only does up to 5.1.
Buy yourself a decent receiver, and then start adding good speakers. Everyone has a different idea of what order to add them in, but I'd say get your right, left, and center channel speakers first. Then add a subwoofer. Then build out the other 2 or 4. Or, just blow a wad of cash and do it all at the same time

Toslink optical (and coax) can deliver up to 7.1 in compressed (i.e., lossy) digital audio. For uncompressed (e.g., DTS-HD or True-HD) you need HDMI or DisplayPort.
