complete my system

Hey there
well, i am a student and have spent months saving up for the onix sp3 with ref 1 speakers. Now that I have them, what else should I get? I don't even know what type of cables I need!
I see there is a onix cd player on here, i'm sure it would sound great with the system, although i love the idea of songs at my fingertips via sb3
please chime in i'm in a bit of a dilemma.

So here's a newbie question. What type do i need? interconnects? and how exactly do i hook them up to the amp and speakers? this amp has plastic turny things on the back, i'm sure that's real helpful. i'm new to this game, i want to make sure i dont blow everything up

Thanks again for all the help. I finally got the sp3 amp with my ref 1 speakers, and I really can't be happier. Right now I'm using an old dvd player with basic old speaker wire and the basic rca connectors. I figured it can only sound better from now on.
But, a few things..
- at times, the music can be harsh, especially the higher frequencies.
- Some recordings, such as bitches brew by miles davis, have an unprecedented amount of static noice throughout the tracks.
So, could I attribute the low quality source/cables to these discrepancies?
