Just my thoughts here...
I would question the Logitech Z5500 set up as it tend to be more on the "tinny side".. ok for just a computer set up/office but for HT?? not a good choice IMO
The Onkyo/Yamaha would be a good way to start.
Heres a few options if you dont mind factory referb & open boxes ( great way to save!)
Onkyo Onkyo HT-S6300 7.1 $379

Onkyo HT-S5400 7.1 $300

* Even those are 7.1... you can use them as 5.1
Otherwise... you can always check Craigs list, Ebay and such to find some good deals on used systems as well.
If you are not in a "hurry" as to if you can wait and piece together seperates as time & money allow... that would be the best way to go! Of corse... in time it would be much more than $400 but like I mentioned, just add as time and money allows... you will be much happier in the long run ( Thats if you plan on keeping the set up for quite awhile).
Anyhow... good luck!
