I will give you 2 suggestions. First will be a better place to inquire about this where you will get much more informed answers than here.
Second will be quick Receiver and speaker combo suggestion.
A much better place for a question like this would be to go to AVSforums and sign up there and post a new thread in the speaker section asking for advice. Here is a direct link. http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/forumdisplay.php?f=89
As for a 5.1 setup suggest goes, here is a decent setup for you budget.
Receiver: Onkyo TX-SR 507 (320 at Amazon)
5.1 Speakers:

Home theatre speaker placement?
Q. I'm using a Denon AVR 591BA (boston speakers) with a 50" Samsung. Because of space constraints i have the front l/r speakers right next to the screen, the surround speakers are placed ear height a foot back, receiver behind the left speaker, and the sub on the left of the speaker. Does the sub need to go between the l/r speaker? do the l/r speakers need to be a couple feet outside? should i invest in speaker stands?
Answer
One of the biggest misconceptions is that bass frequency's are not directional and you can place sub-woofers anywhere, this is completely false and will not provide you with good sound, or correct imaging. Another issue with many systems is the use of one subwoofer as you are now taking stereo bass information and making it mono. Bass is stereo, now when you get down to below 30hz yes it is harder to detect bass direction but there is allot of stereo bass information well above that subwoofers have to reproduce.
There are a few ways in setting up speakers to get the best sound. First is choosing the right speakers, is this going to be a surround system only or are you wanting this to be a music system as well. I would suggest reading my article on the differences on speakers and choosing the right speakers for how you will be using the system. This can be found in my profile, under my blogs.
Its important to understand there is a difference between surround sound or home theater speakers and music speakers, and choosing the right speakers for how you will use the system.
Speaker placement is critical in getting good sound. Distances from back and side walls will effect the speakers overall frequency response, and should be played with to get the best bass responce and soundstaging.
As for sub-woofers here are the best options to get good sound. First are the main speakers full range or not. If they are I would strongly suggest in the menu in your receiver's speaker setting to set your main speakers to full range, this will send a full range signal to the main speakers giving you stereo bass information. This will also assure the best blending of bass and mid and high frequency's. Then if you want you can add the subwoofer to supplement the main speakers very low frequency's.
Ideally you would want to have a subwoofer with adjustable low pass adjustments and set it properly to blend with the main speakers at a very low frequency cross-over point. All single subwoofer placements should be in the middle between the main left and right speakers. Again distance from back walls should also be played with to get the best bass responce.
Now the other best option is to use two sub-woofers, one for left and right bass information. This will again provide you with stereo bass information and correct soundstaging. Placement of two sub-woofers should be placed just to the outside of the main left and right speakers. Again you will need to set the low pass adjustments on the sub-woofers to blend properly with the main speakers and distances from back walls will need to be played with to get the best bass responce.
Its really a shame that manufactures have marketed the idea that you can place sub-woofers anywhere and it makes no difference. I understand why but its false and misleading, and will not provide good sound.
