The new recievers output 110 watts I think, and have 8ohms output but can be changed to 4 ohms I think, would thatsupport my current speakers?

your speakers will be fine.

2) I see on sony's site right now that certain recievers do Linear PCM but not all do the Dolby Digital True HD or DTS-HD, whats the main difference? Do I need to get the ones that do DTS-HD?

There is not a whole lot of difference, the main difference is if your Bluray player does the decoding or not. The PS3 internally decodes, so you could even go with an older model HDMI receiver that utilizes multichannel PCM audio. (ex Sony str-dg810,910...)

3) What recievers would you recommend, I've looked at Onkyo's and Yamaha's but I would need new speakers and I'm on a tight budget being 17 going on 18 years old

Yamahas look to use better DAC's...but as far as real difference, not much...for a college kid, cheaper may be better in your situation.
...and if you havent already, buy your HDMI cables here:
