Cheap 5.1 Surround system? ?

Question

I am looking for a good, cheap 5.1 surround sound system. My budget is about $300-$400. I would prefer speakers that I can wall mount. It would also be good if it supported an optical cable because it is for my Xbox 360. I do realise I will not be able to get a great system but I just want to know what is the best for that price range.
