The center channel is pretty important. That's where the voices come from when the camera's pointed at the actor. Drop that and you don't get accurate sound on the vocals.
Most people say your priorities for speakers are front left/right, center, and THEN rears.
It's not real important that the center channel be an awesome speaker, though - it's mainly important for it just to be there. Take one of your old speakers and make it your center channel.
