10 percent for cables ???

hi all. query...the general consensus is your cabling should be 10 percent of the cost of your system. with that said i find it VERY diffivult to cable my system within both that directive and my budget. while my system may not be high end i would have to say it is "boutique" and therefor deserves quality wiring. please help. i do have dedeicated ac lines.
my system:
speakers: totem dreamcatchers 4 plus center
amp: jaton operetta
pre: marantz sr-6003
sub: sunfire true eq 10"
source (no flame please) ps3

I buy my components and cables based on the price performance ratio or 'sweet spot' of the line up that is still compatible with other components. If it means the proportion of money spent is high or low from the perceived norm it is no matter, I think it is almost impossible to put a percentage on any components cost ratio - especially lower priced items (for instance a $300 amp with $300 wire seems perfectly reasonable to me)

enough babbling, enjoy!
