Mid-Fi ICs - BJC vs. Audioquest Sidewinder

I will be using a laptop USB out to a Peachtree Decco as a pre-amp, combined with a McCormack DNA 0.5 deluxe for power, running to a pair of NHT 2.5i speakers. I do not plan on spending much more money, but I still have to buy cables. I was thinking of just getting some blue jeans cable speaker wire (belden 5000), but I'm not sure what to do for ICs. I was thinking of getting either BJC ICs as well for about $30, or getting some AQ Sidewinders for $60 shipped.

What would you guys suggest, considering my setup? I'm just now sure how good or bad BJC ICs are supposed to be, though I've heard most of their stuff is relatively solid for the price. Same with the sidewinders. Any other suggestions are of course welcome as well. Thanks!

"low frequency signals that tend to flow through the center of a conductor travel through copper, rather than silver."

Low frequency signals do not "tend" to travel thru the center of the wire. They travel equally on the inside and outside.
