You don't need to spend $3k but $1k will get you a really nice machine. The only weird part about my suggested build below is that I went with a 1 TB SSD instead of a combination (smaller SSD and HDD).

You'll want to spend another $500 on a monitor or two and a mouse and keyboard.
I would suggest watch this guy's videos on building:
