Danny boy! Think very carefully before you buy and AV package. The Sony SAV-E packages are passive, which means you WILL need aseperate amp. My advise would be to save up a bit more, buy a half decent amp (they are going 10 for a pound nowadays) and invest in some decent speakers.
If you are looking for "satellites" I would try to get hold of some Elac speakers. You'll be looking at about £150 for a set of 5 with an active sub, but wired up to a decent amp will be loads better than your tv speakers for bot tv and films.
As enticing as the Sony speakers look on Empire's website I can honestly say they are shite! They will offer you 5.1 surround with an amp but the sound quality is awful!
Definitely take up Ad's advice and go into a few hifi shops and listen to a few set ups within your budget.
Another word of advice is DO NOT take the info in magazines such as What Hifi? etc as Gospel! Get out there, listen to some systems and listen to the salesperson! I know that's not normally advice most people take, but in a reputable hifi shop they will give you honest advice. At least I used to when I worked at Superfi for 8 years!
Lastly, if you see something you really want, let me know the model numbers and I will see if I can get you a better price! - I still have contacts in the trade.
Good luck.................
