In one system I have, the cables are roughly 50% of the equipment cost to me, not counting any power conditioning. This is a lower cost office system, and this is where I landed as providing the best overall sound for dollars invested.
In my main system at home, my investment in cabling is currently about 20%, but I would be willing to go up from there if it yielded significant results.
I would say for a system costing what you suggest, you could build a very reasonable cable solution for 15% of the system value, particularly if you are buying some pieces used. Understand, with the resolution capable in a system at that price point, you may continue to realize significant added value from rather exotic (and expensive) cable designs, and find the comment that cables are just another critical component in your overall design hold particularly true.
Choosing the right cables can be both exhausting and rewarding.
