The problem is the phono stage.Most I/A's & receivers have dropped them.If you could go with an outboard phono stage I would recommend the Dared i30 Tube(6L6GC)integrated amp with built in USB DAC or one of Peachtree Audio's Integrated Amps.
Building 2.0/2.1 PC system
As a owner of a used CD store for many years I have a great library of loss less converted. Currently I have ordered a Emotiva XDA-2 DAC that has arrived. Also have a pair of JBL 530's on the way. As of right now I plan on using a old Pioneer SX-636 receiver as my amp.
It is the amp that concerns me and where I am already looking to upgrade. While I have no doubt what I currently have will get me by for a bit I know that this will end up my primary music system and would like to keep it that way. What I know I want would be a integrated amp/receiver that would allow hooking up a CD and Turntable and maybe allow playing straight from a USB drive. Sound quality is what is most important to me as this will remain dedicated to music.
So what good quality receivers are there with those features that will not break the bank?
