I'm looking to get my first audio system, but I'm planning to do it in several steps as money allows.
TV use is currently 10% TV, 30% movies, 30% Xbox, 30% computer games (will be a lot more once BF3 comes out)

Am I doing any of this wrong, or should I change the order of any of these?

Step one:
Receiver (Denon-391)
L&R Speakers

Step two:
Center speaker
Sub

Final:
L&R rear

My budget for step one is $500 which allows for $250 for front speakers. Is that a lot for an entry level system? Or could I get a nice center speaker + sub along with the two fronts with the $250 left after getting the receiver? I have a lot of woodworking tools and could easily make my own stands for speakers, so I'm unsure about getting floor standing speakers. Other than that, I have no brand/type preference or anything, and I still need to go to stores and listen to different speakers.

Is it only one wire per speaker to receiver? Or is it power + sound to the receiver? I'm having trouble finding out how many wires I need ahead of time.
Looking to get These before the sale ends as my front mains, since I will be getting a center as well.

Alright, so I only need to get 4 banana clips + speaker wire cut to size per speaker.
I have never had anything but tv speakers, I can't wait to buy everything and get it all set up.
