Well, I think the most important thing to know is the price range. I also tell friends who are buying their first system to save their money/time and buy QUALITY. Maybe intro level quality is all you can afford, that's fine. You will need to spend 300$+ to get a great sounding setup. Look on amazon for reviews and think about TOTAL costs. Look on craigslist as well, some people don't know how much their system is worth :) This is what you'll need for a 5.1/3.1 system:
Satellite speakers, a dedicated sub, an amp, speaker wires, and whatever specifics for your amp/speakers.
For speakers and subs, I would recommend brands such as Polk audio, Klipsh, Martin, JBL, Onkyo, Velodyne, Pioneer, Bose etc. (for speakers anywhere from $100 a pair to infinty, lol. And for subs $100 to infinity.)
For Amps I recommend Pioneer, Sherwood, Polk Audio, Harman Kardon, Onkyo, Sony, JBL, etc. (from $75 to infinity).
Here's a great polk setup:
SUB, TOWERS, SPEAKERS, AMP.
What NOT to do: Don't buy huge packages, you usually get screwed on those. Don't buy big or loud without a name behind it. Don't fuck with soundbars. In general, don't buy logitec or creative for home setups, cpus are fine. Don't go cheap, you will only regret this decision. Do your research and compare in your price range, you can always spend more to get better.
Thanks to rohizzle for teaching me everything I know, big ups to him!

I'm more concerned with movies than music, plus I don't have a ton of room. After a bit of searching with your suggestions, I found these bookshelf speakers and this sub. Between the speakers and the receiver, it'll put me at $700, right in my budget.
Are there any cables or wires I need to pick up, or do speakers usually come with what is needed?

Looking for a powered/active sub for $100-500.
I'm looking for one that could be said to be warm, and milky smooth. I don't listen to much electronic - this would be to accentuate Miles Davis' bass step and things like that.
I've seen links to the Polk Audio PSW110 10-Inch, but I would like the low end freq. to be in the 20 Hz range and it would be great if I could get more continuous power - I'm under the impression you want RMS 225w+. Thanks for your recommendations. Basically, should I go with those polks, or what is the next step up?
Here's what those Polks are packing:
Frequency Response: 35Hz - 250Hz
Peak power handling: 200 watts (100 watts continuous)
