Looks like a nice reciever - unclear as to why you would need to buy an amp though, since it has a 7x110w amp already. What speakers did you get? I wasn't aware onkyo even made component speakers. Just looked at their website - looks like they have a few sorta-cheapie little surround sets. Nothing worthy of that receiver, IMHO.
I've been a minor audio buff for a while, put together a decent basic system on my college student budget - Denon 70x5 reciever, a pair of Paradigm Atoms, and a Definitive ProSub 80. I can't recommend paradigms enough, I plan on adding some Monitor 3s and a CC-170 center channel if I ever have the discretionary cash. Paradigm makes some great stuff at very reasonable prices - the Atoms are usually under $200 a pair, though they need a sub to help with low end for HT. Their Cinema series is a very nice small satellite/sub HT setup, with pretty cheap package prices. They'd be worth checking out if you have a local dealer.
