You will consume the majority of your budget in speakers and will not have enough money for the supporting electronics.
The Speaker / Amplifier interface is critical to extracting the best performance out of your speakers. You need to ensure that everything is balanced within your budget or you will have expensive gear in your system that is under performing.
The room you place your stuff in is just as critical.
So what size room are you listening in?
Is it a bright room or somewhat damped?
Where do you intend to place your speakers in relation to the room dimensions?
How far will you be seated?
Is your back to a wall?
Any sliding glass doors around?
Is there equipment (TV for example) going between the speakers?
How loud do you listen to music?
What types?
Without this information, all the advice you are getting is basically a shot in the dark.
If you want the most value out of your system, then you need to address the questions above first before even considering actual speakers.
