$300 actually. No hdmi 2.0 mentioned though and definitely no HDR.

I actually cheaped out, to do it right you need a receiver with seperate hdmi out ports to circumvent the 4k pass through problem of psvr. Since 3 is better than 2, I recommend the Marantz SR701 2115 watt 9.2 channel receiver. ($2,200)
1 separate hdmi out for psvr and dual hdmi out (same signal) for tv and projector (cause you need options)
As for the projector VPL-VW500ES 4K HDR laser projector (est $60,000)
Ofcourse those speakers might be a bit lacking for such a receiver, there is no end to what you can spend on speakers.

Don't forget you need a couple of these
