My home theatre system i will be buying, help?

Very new to home theatre stuff. I'm looking for a mid-range receiver and set of speakers (5.1). I will be watching movies, and playing video games with it, and rarely listening to music from it.

Receiver - Pioneer VSX-925-K

Speakers - Polk Audio Surround Speakers System (AM8559-A)

Also was looking at this cheaper set of speakers:

Is there any recommendations out there for me? The speakers are a little on the expensive side (for my budget), but I don't want to buy bad quality stuff.

Thanks all..

What is your budget for speakers + receiver combo? How big is your room?

My budget is about 800$ for receiver and speakers. My room size is about 16 feet by 12. I probably sit about 12-13 feet away from my TV.

Anyone can tell me their opinion on this?
