Hello- I have had an old surrond system for a while and I'm finally going to start upgrading. I need help deciding what receiver I should get.

Currently have:
Infinity Primus P362 floor standing speakers (just bought)
Good base (not sure the brand)
cheap center and rears which I will upgrade after I get a new receiver
Sony STR-DE445 (I know...this one sucks) 80 watt X 5
LCD: LG 47LC7DF 1080p & 3 HDMI inputs.

I'm not looking to spend much more than $300 but will go higher if I need to. (Althought I might end up sleeping on the couch)
I only need 5.1 since I will not be setting up anything more than that...maybe 6.1. in the future but not likely.

Questions:
1) Main: which receiver should I get?

2) Do I need to do pass through of HDMI through the reciever or can I keep it going through the TV? What are the benefits of having it go through the receiver?

3) Will my current receiver even work with the infinities for the time being or will it not do it justice?

4) Do I need to go with the Infinity center speaker or can I decide on a different brand?

Thanks for your help!!!!!
