Newbie setting up a mini HT. Need advise

Yo bros, I am a newbie in HT and planning to setup a mini HT system in a 14.5ft x 15ft room with a budget of around RM11k
The usage of the system is: 80% for watching movie and 20% for listening to music/radio.
Here are some of my thoughts on the basic requirements for the system:

- A projector with a screen size of up to 100 inches for viewing Blu Ray movies.
- A budget receiver which can handles Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD.
- A set of 5.1 small size speaker systems.

So far based on my research, I've the following system in mind:

1) 100" Electric Projector Screen 16:9 by FAVI, HD-100 (I've already purchased this from Amazon). The price including shipping to Malaysia is around RM1000.
2) Panasonic AE4000. Have checked with a AV shop in Singapore and the asking price is SGD3499 (Around RM7600 after minus the GST)
3) Onkyo HT-S3300 5.1 (Around RM2000)
4) HDMI Cables (25Ft), Speaker Cable etc.

For all the items above except for item 1) which I've already purchased, i am still deciding and surveying around whether there's a better combination or alternative to build a better system

Hope all the bros and Sifus here can chip in some comments and your advise will be greatly and truly appreciated
