How would i connect my pc to a 5.1 receiver?

How would i connect my pc to a 5.1 receiver?

My motherboard supports Dts connect and dts ultra pc 2 which means it has 7.1 or 5.1 surround sound support. 

1. What is better to use S/PDIF or analog output? or should i go with hdmi? 

2. For this combination to work do my receiver have special features that i should have for my computer to pass it through s/pdif/analog or hdmi? 

3. Is it the receiver's job to give power to the passive speakers?
