When you say you prefer a MAC desktop does this mean that a computer has to come out of this starting fund as well? If so will that also mean that you need editing software?

Also what experiences do you have? What have you used or tried in the past - do you have any brand preference, how about lighting gear or space etc...? A few more answers and a bit more detail and we can give you some more focused answers. At present you've a large budget and possibly some previous equipment and/or experiences but we can't really tell what those are from your post.

How do you know you prefer a full frame camera? Based on your questions, it doesn't sound like you have used one? $6500.00 is barely enough for a good body, and a lens or two, and a decent tripod.
