Hello, I am 28 years old, my name is Tim and I need some help in choosing parts for Home Theater

I have a room of 160 square feet, ceiling height is 13 feet, The floor is one giant carpet (except stand for tv and front speakers place)
TV is connected to PC, the use of sound:
60% of the movies / Sitcoms/ Youtube
Game 20%
20% Music

I have to say that I'm not an avid audiophile and music listening is not priority.
The choice in my city is pretty bad on receivers and speakers, unfortunately a large selection on the HT out of the box. Below I will give the list of parts,which I have in my country.

Receivers:
RX-V379
RX-V477
RX-V577
RX-V677
RX-A850
RX-A2050
RX-A3050

Here there are the speakers:

NS-333 /// NS-50F /// NS-F500 /// NS-PA40
NS-444 /// NS-P60 /// NS-F700 /// NS-P150
NS-555 /// NS-P160 /// NS-C500 /// NS-8390
NS-777 /// NS-F160 /// NS-BP182 /// NS-F150 or F51

Also this one, too:

Well, from the HT out of the box are these:
Samsung-ht-e5530k
Sony-bdv-n9200w

Please help me to choose something adequate, I don't need overkill nor I have any extra audio master demands, because I can't use HT on it's 100% power ( we have a toddler at home)

Do I need any extra glamour receiver + speakers for such small room ?

If you are going to get a Yamaha RX-V receiver, do not get an x77 model. It is too old. Get an x79 model because it supports HDCP 2.2. I mean something like the RX-V479, RX-V579, or RX-V679.

Agree with Eug, any of the 79's will do you fine. Do you have any other choice in speakers? Is importing an option? Being limited to Yamaha speakers, well, sucks.

The RX-V379 will work fine but it is very basic. The RX-V479 offers many more features like network support and control from your phone, and more HDMI inputs.

If your city has the 379, then perhaps you can find the 479 too. I don't know anything about those home theatre in a box options.

Actually the 477 would be ok for now but the lack of HDCP 2.2 is a big loss. No proper support of 4K video without that.

importing is an option,but 25 pounds of weight costs me 70$,50 pounds 140 etc....

Now I have full hd tv setup and pc specs (cpu,gpu...) is for full hd gaming,so I don't know when I will be moving to 4K :)
