i'm assuming you mean a satelite speaker system, you could probably get a satelite speaker package ( 5 high range speakers - not full range, + 1 subwoofer, and up to 100watt per speaker), which would come with a reciever/dvd player combined for around that price, i'm australian though so it's hard for me to recommend a system as the price various etc. Just look for a  sony satallite speaker system, any component systems get exponentially more expensive, aka. A stand alone receiver ( amp+tuner) and a floor standing set of speakers, and you have to buy the cd/dvd/blu ray player separate, My advice, which you probably couldn't care less about, but here it is: get a stand alone receiver, the cheapest you can buy with around 100watt per channel, 5.1channel, and then look for a good deal on some speakers, even ex floor stock, you'll get a much better system and most new receivers should have hdmi/optical out, so they will last better than a satellite system which may not even have optical out, just the rca plugs. A little bit more money always gets you a much better settup

heres a decent speaker set

5 speakers , 1 sub, much better quality than any satellite system

heres an amp

it would cost about $320 for the both, but meh, hope i was of some assistance, although i doubt it

I have the Logitech X-540 speakers. Cheap, and you get a really nice sound with them. Strong bass too. These really are a good choice. IMO anything better would be overkill; volume goes up higher than you need, sound quality is excellent.

Last year for Xmas, my girl picked me up a set of Bose companion 2 speakers.  These guys are amazing.  I have never heard so much clarity from my games before.  IMHO listening to these speakers is better than putting in the headphones.  The best part is that the set will only run you $100.  Hope my 2 cents helps you out.

I'm all about Pioneer receivers, the combo listed from newegg above is a winner.
