The first Bernstein cycle can be had for about $25, including shipping. The latest reissue of this has the same mastering as the previous "Carnegie Hall" issue, which greatly improved on previous CD issues. That would leave you with cash left over to supplement with individual recordings and for a completion of the 10th.
I think the consensus is that the 5th is the weakest of this cycle, but there are plenty of great recordings of that to choose from.
