new AVR ? or revamp

Hello guys, this is my first day registered here and been a viewer for about a week. There is lots of hardware and configurations that seem very complex from where I thought I was at.

My Home Theatre Room 70% Movies 25% Games 5% TV

TV Samsung HL-S6187W
AVR Yamaha RX-V730
MAIN PSB T45
CENTRE PSB ALPHA C1
REAR PARADIGM TITAN v.3
LFE SONY SA-WM500

NMT ISTARHD 1.3
Scientific Atlantic 8300 PVR
Microsoft XBOX 360
Sony Playstation 3

I'm looking to upgrade parts of my system (AVR) and I'm not sure if I should look into learning about all the different components. Should I stick with an AVR or get stand alone devices. my budget in mind would be a MAX of 1800CAD for AVR or amp/processor. I want be able to upgrade other components in the future with out needing to replace this device (if that makes sense)

Looking for input on devices, brands

Thanks everyone

Thanks for the response. what amp would you suggest? 5.1 channels, I don't believe I need any more than 125 wpc

I notice I can find the intergra DTC 9.8 refurbished or used for around $900. Not sure I can find that local. which Marantz series would you specifically refer too?

I'm trying to keep in mind this is a stepping stone into a complete package years from now.

Maybe someone can correct me but I think I found an alright setup.

Amp Emotiva UPA-7 http://emotiva.com/upa7.shtm

Pre/Pro Integra 9.9 http://www.integrahometheater.com/model.cfm?m=DHC-9.9&class=Preamplifier&p=i

Do these work well together? am I missing something obvious? the specs on the Emotiva seem outstanding for the price. whats the catch?

Thank's for everyones help so far.. I'll check back soon.
