Reciever: Denon AVR-E200. Great entry level unit, and I have had nothing but good experience with Denon.
Speakers: Polk Audio RM705. Good entry level full kit. Upgrade front channels when the money becomes available.
Bluetooth: Logitech Bluetooth Audio Adapter. I have one. Works flawlessly for Bluetooth.
Hope this was helpful.
My recommendation is to get a decent receiver and a 5.1 speaker kit. Polk makes a really good starter kit for around 200 and includes a powers sub, and you should be able to get a good starter receiver for 300.
I would take this approach as it allows you to expand and upgrade speakers over time as you adjust your needs and expectations, and learn more about home audio. Do not get a home theater in a box kit though as they are generally not upgradable. The bundled receiver is usually weak and can't drive normal 8 and 6 ohm home theater speakers, and they typically do not include multiple HDMI inputs.
This Polk kit is a good starting point

also I have been looking at these Polka speakers. Any thoughts?
Here is what I would look at
AVR - Denon S530 Refurb $150 - Basic entry level receiver but it's a current model so it will support 4k. Should get the job done nicely.
Speakers - Yamaha NS-SP1800 $120 or Polk RM 705 $190 - You'll need speaker wire and any other cables (HDMI, optical, sub cable) but this will get you up and going.
If you can save another 200 and don't want to invest time, you can go with this speaker set and this receiver
