With a 3k budget you can go all out. Would recommend a 4090
I spent $2200 building my own with a Ryzen 5900x, GTX 3090, 64GB RAM with liquid cooling AIO so $3K budget you could definitely get GTX 4K series. Make sure to get a motherboard that has the latest NVME 4.0 with multiple slots so you can use the latest NVME SSDs.
Bulleted list at the bottom of this post is what I built a friend recently. You could decrease the memory speed and save some money.

It's a small form factor 14th Gen Intel i9 build, with an NVIDIA RTX 4090. Works great!
I wish the 4080 was $200 cheaper and there was something in between that and a 4090 cause at $1200 the 4080 feels bad, but the 4090 is just so much money at $1700
Agreed, I’m really just being a tad spoiled I managed to get a reference card for the rx6800 on release which is great for 99% of games without ray tracing but as I’ve gotten older I’ve grown towards the single player games that push graphics and story. I want ray tracing on my 4K tv and the Nvidia cards just blow away AMD once you turn on RT.
