Hi msch:
Sorry but I agree with Oz. This is going to take more work on your part. If you spend any time here or other audio sites reading opinions on amps, speakers, etc. you will soon see there is a great range of opinions. So why would a single suggestion from any of us, no matter how well meaning, suit your taste and needs?
Do you have any friends with music systems you enjoy? Have you discussed your search with them? Do you have a local audio club? Some members there may be happy to guide you. Are there any dealers in your area (not big box retailers) where you can audition equipment? Be honest and tell them you are try to learn so you can make educated decisions.
To give you hope, friends ask for my help a few years ago. They had a budget of only $1K and wanted a full system, including ability to play cassettes, LPs, and receive FM. After talking with them about their listening expectations I was able to help them assemble a system within their budget but mainly by buying used.
There are simply too many options in every component category for a beginner to do this without specific help. Help means back and forth dialog, something that would be very difficult through a forum like AA. So, good luck to you.
