OP, if you have that much to spend, you really should look at Profoto's options. They're a lot more expensive than Paul C Buff which I mentioned before, but they're also the "gold standard" in strobes...
Profotos are nice, but for the price there are other options out there that beat their Acute entry level series. $11,000 is a good budget to start out with buying Profoto strobes IMO.
Personally, I think $3k is a little light to set up a full studio at the professional level. It's not terribly hard to spend that much on C stands and a couple of booms.
For strobe equipment, look at Broncolor, Dynalite, Elinchrom or Speedotron Black.
Speedo plug! I have 5 heads, 2 packs, a Pelican case, and a bunch of extras that will be up for sale tomorrow or Wednesday. Just took pictures of everything yesterday. They would fit in the OP's budget.
