Seller also looks OK, I guess?
Here's the connectors:-

So, is all I need to do is connect my HTPC to a HDMI in and TV to HDMI out? How to connect the sound card to the receiver?

That is a good suggestion for an audio setup. But doesn't suit OP's requirements for home theater..

I think I have to wait fairly long for an audition. 
Now tell me which will be the better policy, getting a good speaker set now and later adding a receiver or getting the Yamaha YHT-395BL now and later upgrade the speakers depending on my need?
In the first case, I have to add the speakers directly to PC, so it either has to be an Edifier S550 or a set that can be connected via Optical TOSLINK.
Now which one would be better? I am not a bass freak, more treble loving, love finer details in my music and movies (and games).

This is a good option if you can spend 35K..
Haven't auditioned Yamaha YHT-395BL so can't comment on that..

Skud,
Ideally any audio system 2 ch/5.1/7.1 etc should be built around the speakers and NOT the other way around. I mean [Speakers-->Source-->Amplification ].
Technology in speakers hasn't changed much in the last few decades and decent speakers easily last over 10 yrs even in Indian conditions but YMMV.
Now, in your budget you can start off with a HTiB like Onkyo/Yamaha/Denon even Philips with 5.1 /7.1 AVR capable of pumping out atleast 80 -100 W/C offering upto 4 HDMI ports and optical out for audio and later as and when budget permits just change the front L/R to either bookshelf's or FS. This will solve all your requirements.BUT please please stay away from LG,Sony,Samsung etc.
If you have someone in Delhi/Mumbai who can pick-up a Pioneer/Denon/Marantz/Onkyo AVR from grey market that'll be useful as well OR if you are open to buying used AV gear then you can build a very decent system in your budget but via this route patience is the key.
I'll be checking out a few HTiB for you and will revert accordingly.
Cheers
