I'd build one for  less than $1000 and use the other $3000 on something worth while.

 

However, in your fictional tale, I'd toss out the HDDs and go with SSDs only. Don't need many TBs of storage, but fast-durable storage is better.
Toss out the Bluray drive and not replace with nothing. At this point I think media drives on a PC are worthless.
Toss out the audio card. MOBO audio is good enough.
