Bulk power cables suggestions

Strong believer in using shielded power cables, especially for devices with switching power supplies or amps.

DH Labs is high quality and very affordable.  See Parts Connexion

IMHO just the fact you are mentioning member subaruguru is a testament to the intangible benefits and good karma of making something yourself.  I remember the day, moment and place where I was when it was written he joined the everlasting. Enjoyed his posts a lot and thank you for mentioning him.   

Cost of good quality plugs may easily surpass the cost of bare cable. I do believe in DIY, especially pc and so far has not let me down. If you decide DIY make sure lengths are between 1,5-2 meters, for pc shorter is not better.

Check out VHaudio.com and have at it... I don’t agree the “pro cables” are always better... but I will say terminating cables properly is the magic and poorly terminating expensive cables if you don’t know how, is a lesson in frustration and tenacity to generally not so desirable ends.

Professional cable-makers don’t need to be "outsmarted" in order for DIY to improve on manufactured offerings at certain price points. Cables consist of materials, geometry, shielding, damping, and connectors and while some designs sound better than others, and some cables are constructed better than others, it is not like building the space shuttle. One area where I find DIY to fall short is in the spacing, twisting, and braiding, which will not be as uniform when done by hand as it will when the cable is made on a machine.

This can be overcome by terminating pre-manufactured bulk cable made by companies such as Furutech, Neotech, Oyaide, Acrolink, LessLoss, DH Labs, etc. There are even a couple of less expensive Asian bulk cable products that provide a pretty good bang for the buck (but others that don’t so be careful). By assembling cables from good quality premanufactured bulk cable and high quality connectors, it is possible for a DIY’er to achieve better sound at a lower price point than with commercial offerings.

To the OP, at your price point, I suggest doing some research here and at Audio Asylum and then purchasing a good bulk power cable and terminating it with something affordable like this, which uses copper conductors.
