A stand is purely decorative, and will blow a chunk of your budget without actually accomplishing anything. A bowl is also unnecessary unless you buy a loose soap like Williams or Haslinger are only (mostly?). Other hard soaps such as DR Harris can be purchased with a bowl, but if you just buy a refill puck some sort of container will be necessary.
I second the recommendation for the kits from Maggard and Stirling. In addition to what you need they also include a DE razor and some blades. The razors and brushes are functionally identical, but I strongly prefer the soap in the Maggard kit.
Do not under any circumstances buy that Parker pure badger brush. The hair used is low quality, and the price is astronomical for what you get. When it comes to inexpensive brushes, synthetics are the safest choice, but you can squeeze a decent badger brush into that budget if you go with the Maggard 2-band or one of the Chinese vendors that sell directly on eBay such as Frank Shaving, Virginia Sheng, or Ace Shaving.
When it comes to soaps, your choices are nearly unlimited. If you spend ~$25 on the brush and want to blow your entire budget, hunt up an Amazon bargain on a DR Harris soap. They usually sell for $35-40, but at the moment you can get Arlington for just under $20 shipped or Windsor for under $25. Or you can save a few bucks and get a tin of Pre de Provence, which is also outstanding. Then there are all the great artisan soaps. If I had to pick one to take to a desert island it'd probably be LASSCo. Topanga Fougere, but IMO the best bang for a beginner's buck is Barrister & Mann Latha (bonus points because it's inexpensive enough to add a matching aftershave and stay in your budget). These and dozens of others are also available from Maggard Razors.
Their heads are on the aggressive side and not the best quality, farmed out from India I think. I'm not saying India is bad, their Utopia razor is really good and Parker is reputable. What soap and blades are you using? I'd start with CO Bigelow/Proraso from bath/body works and either an Astra or a Gillette Silver Blue blade and go from there. You'll need a decent brush, best bang for the buck is the $25 Virginia Sheng Silvertip brush. Once broken in that thing performs as well as a $100 brush.
