Help Needed: Is my system balanced?

I have just bought a new system, part of the equipment is used, and I am uncertain if I made the right decisions. My problem is to define ideal percentages to be spent in each component. My system is the following:

Arcam DIV A80 Integrated Amplifier ($1300)
Naim CD5i cd player ($1600)
B&W DM602 S3 Loudspeakers ($600)

Do you think these three equipments match? Are they compatible? Will I get the most from their potential? Should I have bought more expensive loudspeakers and a less expensive CD player?

Is there a simple, definite rule to determine which percentages of the total investment should go to each equipment? What does the literature on this subject tells us?

Thanks...I think that 2 years from now I'll start thinking about an upgrade. Maybe a pair of open box or slightly used B&W 805S's , what do you think?

I bought the following cables:

interconnect: Van Den Hul "The Source" 0.8m
speakers: Kimber Kable 8VS (10" pair)

They're not too expensive but were highly praised by Hi-fi Choice. I hope they'll be enough!
