Budget Cables for Budget setup - pls advise

Hi all!

After weeks of research and auditioning have settled on the following kit -

My 1st Speaker Setup

Speakers: PSB Alpha B1
Amp: NAD 316BEE
DAC: HRT Music Streamer II
Source: Macbook Pro
Cables: ? (USB cable, Interconnect, Speaker Cable)

As you can see I need help with cables. My gear is really beer budget stuff so nothing too fancy. Just need cables that are decent enough for such an affordable system.

Total budget for cables: 100USD for all - USB, Interconnect, Speaker Cable =(

Many thanks in advance!

I agree with Deanz in the recommendation of Blue Jeans Cables all around.

A cheaper option for the speaker cables which would be fine for your gear is Canare 4s8 cable from markertek.com using bare wire connections at both ends.

blue jeans +1 but include their locking bananas. avoid the monster or rocketfish bananas from best buy or whatever. the BJ units are much more robust. I went 10 gauge as well and had no bend radius issues. I assumed that within reason bigger wire was better.
