Spec Me a TV Surround Sound Please

[ca9phoenix]

I'm looking at changing my TV shortly to a Sony KDL46W4500 and will be looking to update my Surround Sound also.

Currently have

sky HD - So need an optical input
PS3 - so needs a hdmi input

my current system is a Sony str-ks600p (can't find these any more)
It's 5.1 full system with small satellite speakers and about 550w total
has 1 component in and 2 optical in's

I do not want one with a dvd player particularly and would like to stay below £600

currently the separate amp and speaker packages are confusing me.

i was looking at the Sony HTSF-1300/2300 but they appear to be discontinued.

(you may notice i like Sony stuff but i am not against a change!)

well at the minute i'm looking at

sony STR-DA2400ES as the reciever

and

Q Acoustics 1010i 5.1 as the speakers?

both get good reviews any other ideas?

(it's over budget but what the heck it should last me a while i think) (just over £800 for the set)

another question (not that my first was really answered)

sky HD is output in 1080i, is it worth getting a av receiver that will upscale that picture to 1080p or stick with the one that has no upscaling?

price difference is just over £100

i don't want to wish i had paid the extra at a later date
