My opinion for that money and usage, get a SLI Aftershock laptop and a Dell 27" Professional monitor.

mmm. Actually i still have my laptop. But it constantly overheats during like 2 day renders and 3d modelling. So, i figured, ahh.. just go back to a desktop.

It is not advisable to even think about buying everything from overseas. Imagine any one of your most important component is faulty your downtime is gonna take you a long time.
