My obligatory post for a cheap home theater. I like the BIC sub. I usually recommend Denon over Yamaha for features and ease of setup. The Sony floorstanders are hit or miss depending on who you talk too. On a budget I would likely go with these aff-linked Pioneer SPFS51's and some of the matching BS21's for the rear and they have a matching center should you want everything to match. You can save some cash and use whatever you have for the rears since they rarely have to match.
I would change the speakers to one of the pioneer/jones variations.

These are down to $59 now. (pair) Go with two pair. Add matching center

That's a heck of a 5.0 package for about $200.
no need to match the brand of the sub to speakers. The key considerations here are...
1)The upper frequency range of the sub overlaps the deep frequency capabilities of the speakers to some degree.
2)The subwoofer is not grossly mismatched in terms of output capabilities. In other words, don't match a Triax subwoofer to tiny cube speakers..:)
/r/hometheater would probably be better
I'd get a $100 5.1 receiver off Craigslist (there are almost always a ton of Denons running around)
And 2 pairs of these: http://www.walmart.com/ip/24311964?wmlspartner=wlpa&adid=22222222227017414899&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=c&wl3=25381710156&wl4=&wl5=pla&wl6=50599128036&veh=sem
And one of these for $95: http://www.amazon.com/Pioneer-SP-C21-Watt-2-Way-Speaker/dp/B004MF4S0M
And then save up for this for $198: http://www.amazon.com/BIC-America-F12-475-Watt-Subwoofer/dp/B0015A8Y5M/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1375666936&sr=1-1&keywords=bic+f12
$100+$78+$78+$95 = $351 + $198 = $549
Hi, thanks for the great guide, I'm more or less going to follow this for my set-up.
Any reason to use/not-use this pioneer center channel instead of 1 or 2 of the bookshelf pioneers?

This the matching center for the older model? http://www.amazon.com/Pioneer-SP-C21-Speaker-Discontinued-Manufacturer/dp/B004MF4S0M/ref=pd_bxgy_e_img_y
Awesome! That would be perfect. Thank you again for your help. It seems like I might not be able to get the Polk S20 speakers because the buyer isn't responding yet. So just in case, I think I found another really nice deal. All for just $200 he's selling...

That also leaves me enough money to buy a subwoofer like the Dayton SUB-1200. But the receiver is a different model then the one you suggested. I'm not sure if it's still good. Would that be enough to drive all those speakers adequately?
In your opinion, do you think that would be a nice sounding setup for movies and music?
