Does your budget include the Head unit? How much was it?
I would hold out on the rear speakers and maybe the front dash speakers. Those would be the least important.

The budget includes the HU, I already bought that, so I'm hoping to get the rest for around ~$800. I paid about $350 for it with shipping and all install hardware.
I even got the
best kits dash kit, even though the Metra one was included for free because the fitment was better, and gave a cleaner look installed IMO.
The amp I linked is a 5 channel amp that has a dedicated Subwoofer channel rated for 300 watt RMS @ 4 ohms which happens to be the exact rating for that subwoofer I linked.
I do realize a larger enclosure would help as would a full size sub vs a shallow mount, but I would like to retain as much trunk space as possible and I don't really have room in my budget for a ~$600 JL Stealthbox or even the ~$300 custom side fit enclosures I've seen posted on here, although I'd love to do that.
The dash/rear speakers are indeed less of a priority. But the way I figure, now is the time to do them if I'm already going to have half the interior panels ripped out to do wiring and sound deadening.
