How many cables do I need for my turntable system?

Hi I recently got my first audio system and since a few of the components haven't arrived yet, I want to go ahead and get cables. So far, my system cost $930 and I'd really like to keep the cable cost under 70 dollars.
Since I know nothing about cables, how many do I need?
and any recs?
My system:
Denon DP 300F turntable
Denon DL-110 cartridge
NAD C315BEE integrated amp
Wharfedale speakers

thanks!

If you buy Kimber 4tc unterminated bulk for your speakers you'll be within your budget. You can also research bulk VanDenHul wire. They go $7/foot. $70 will get you where you need to be with cables. Speaker cable is the only thing you realy need
That's what I do for my system that is closer to $7000.

I don't think the Nad has a phono stage. You will need one.

The Denon has a built in phono preamp so you shouldn't need any other equipment immediately. However, if you expand your system to include other sources such as a shiny disc player you'll need RCA interconnects as well.
