Just going to start my HT, what should I buy?

Edit: Whoops, title got screwed up lol
Hey guys!

Well let me start off with a few details about myself.
-I am in the military so I move around every year or so.
-I am in my first apartment so I am hesitant to making any holes in walls since I have no idea how to.
-I don't really know much of anything about putting together a HTS.
-I like to listen to electronic music and play video games so that's what I would primarily be using these speakers for.

What I am wanting is a quality receiver that I can keep for a long time. I don't mind putting down a few more bucks on this since its more permanent. I checked out the Onkyo TX NR609 but wanted your opinions before I do anything.

Speaker and sub wise I haven't been able to narrow my search at all because of the variety. I just don't known what I should look at and what to choose over others. I have a regular size living room but no shelves around to put speakers on. Would floor speakers be more of my thing since I will be moving over the years?

My idea is to buy just a few speakers now and acquire more over time so my current budget is < 1000.

Thanks in advance for the help and advice!

Each year manufacturers introduce more features on receivers, additional audio format decoding and whatever inputs the industry comes up with. Speakers on the other hand last for decades. Yes, you may have a capacitor in the crossover leak some but that fix is usually less than a $5.

How about $700 for the speakers and $300 for the receiver? I helped someone the other day with a similar request - http://www.hometheaterforum.com/t/318266/new-user-needs-suggestion-on-front-main-speakers-and-sub-please
