Great system. Very good choices for your first system. I spent about 18 months owning CM7s and they are incredibly good. I still miss them sometimes. Very high value for money. I also love creek. Your speakes will sound even better if you pull them out from the wall a bit. They need some space behind them to keep the bass in check. Also, some slight toe in. You will be amazed if you experiment a little with speaker placement.
Regarding cable in general, you can't go wrong with The Chord Company. They are the number one selling brand in the UK and nobody knows hifi like the Brits. Trust me, they are extremely good. Just get their budget stuff. The best way to buy it is to use the UK ebay site. They will ship to the USA for just a few bucks extra. Google them. Good luck! :)
