Building a home pre-wired for 5.1

First off, I'm sorry if this has been asked before but I'm new to this.
I'm building a home and one of the packages we selected added in 5.1 speaker wiring in the ceiling of the living room. I'm completely new to this as I've only ever lived with my parents or in apartments.
I know I've read in-wall surround sound speakers aren't optimal but for my wife & I they'll be an upgrade over what we currently have. I guess my question is, first, if there's somewhere with a write-up on this situation already or if someone can recommend a complete setup (speakers with sub & amp/receiver). We watch a lot of movies via my Roku 3 and I plan to have one of my record players setup to play vinyl during parties or just relaxing at home.
I appreciate any advice. I'm not sure on what price-range I'm looking at currently (building a house with no furniture bought is hard to decipher available income) but somewhere between $500-1500 is possible.
Thanks guys.

I don't know what you are paying, but I'd just do it myself, especially if it's a new build.
I gutted my house and ran the wire myself before the sheet rock was hung, it's not hard.
I am not an audiophile, but I bought these off of craiglist. LINK
and they more than suit my needs. you can spend as much money as you want on this stuff. I got a reciever (yamaha 671 i think) that I can connect to network. It's nice because I can control from phone.
Best thing I would recommend is to get a 7.1 stereo (2 channels for zone 2) and wire it to the porch..its nice.
