The order of priority IMO (using separates as you intend to do) would be:
1.) Amp, or power regenerator first (if you use one) or in your case, your Audio Magic power filter, and then your amp.
2.) DAC (or CD player if you use a one-box player)
3.) Preamp, then analog stuff (phono) then tuner
4.) Powered subs or speakers.
Now I'm gonna contradict myself -- because you have a limited budget for new cords, and because the Harmonix will be your best ones for a bit. So I'd make a slight modification: Put the Harmonix on your amp, and on your DAC. But do get a decent (meaning 10 AWG) PC for your Audio Magic. It doesn't really even have to be shielded, but it should have big conductors. Recommend something like the Aural Thrills Silver Big One (used or on auction.)
You didn't say what kind of preamp you'd be getting but I'd rather see you get a good quality, shielded, 14 AWG cord (like a Purist Musaeus) than a poor quality 10 AWG cord whether shielded or not.
Your Onkyo probably has a hardwired cord, so that's not an issue.
