That's 530 chips. The remaining 170 could be devided 100x$.25, 70x$1.
If you wanted you could easily play a T1000 tourney with ten players with only three colors and free up 30 more chips for the cash game. (T1000x10=$10000 total chips on the table. 100x$100 isn't too many chips between the last two players)

I like jldecarlo's breakdown a lot for T1000. You could easily drop the $500 and $1000 chips (unless you want them just to have all the colors).
As he points out, you don't absolutely need them for colorups with only 10 players. Also, with the Pharaohs, since the blue chip is non-denom, you coluld use this for $500 in tourneys, supporting color-ups and rebuys.
Depending on the spread of cash games, you could drop the tourney set down a notch, and use T200 instead of T1000. Then you wouldn't need many $100 chips either. This way, you'd be buying more $1 chips which would do double-duty in cash games and tourneys. Then you'd have room in the set for more blue's.
So, if you used T200, you could follow jldecarlo's breakdown with:
200 x $1
200 x $5
80 x $25
That would cover the tourney. You could add some $100 chips for rebuys or colorups, say 20 x $100
That leaves 200 chips. I'd go for 200 x blue. These could be $.25 for the cash games, so each player could get 20. As the stakes increase, you've already got plenty of $1 and $5 chips from the tourney set.
