Thanks for the tip!
I think I've found one that may suit my needs and more

(My post count is too low to post a link but i think you get the idea haha)
A Yamaha HTR 4063 for $160
What got me was the hdmi ports which would be nice to connect my ps3 and blu-ray player to ofc. the main reason I'm getting the receiver is for the speakers but those additions make it seem more interesting of a buy.
EDIT: I've come across another receiver Yamaha Amplifier Audio/video tuner (HTR-5650) it lacks the hdmi ports but the seller is much closer to home and the price is $10 less (which really doesnt matter)
Is there anything else I should consider between the two? I don't mind giving up the hdmi for the convenience of a 5 or so minute drive compared to the 30+ minute trek but if theres something else I may be ignorant of between the two I would take the drive down to get it.
