If $500 is your entire budget then go for a THX certified PC speaker setup. They're self powered and often offer at least a couple digital and analog input will are enough to knock your sock off if it's not a large room. Logitech and Klipsch are what I'd recommend. I wouldn't recommend spending much less than $500 on just speakers unless it's a stereo setup. $500 is about what you get a "bargain" higher quality component for as well. You buy a cheap all in one system now and you'll end up replacing the whole thing down the road anyway. At least the PC speakers will always have a use for nearly any room in the house. I use a plain 2.1 sub/sat in the bedroom and garage while the SB3 is hooked to the main entertainment center with my DefTech speakers.
