College budget reveiver help

Hey guys/gals!
Im a college student who is in the market for a receiver for around $750 (audiogon prices or otherwise). I only really need 5.1 but I know that most now days are 6.1 or 7.1 so that really does not matter. The receiver will power three (3) JM Lab Sibs (I will get the rear pair when money allows!) So far I have looked at Yamaha, Harmon Kardon, Marantz, and the lower line of Integras. Im open to any other brands so any advice will help! Thanks for your time and info!
PS: Any advise on a good 8' or 10' sub? ($250-$300)?

Some HT receivers that have gotten very good reviews lately: Yamaha 657 ($600 - Perfect Sound); Denon 2805 ($800 - What HiFi) though you can pick up the discontinued 3805 for about $1000; Onkyo 303 ($300 - Sensible Sound). Also, Outlaw Audio, which enjoys a reputation for manufacturing incredible performing; incredible bang for the buck components, just came out with a new $1000 HT receiver.
