Computer Build Help

[Notar]

First off, I hope I'm posting this in the correct place.  I need help building a computer for myself.  My companies budget is $8,000.  To give you an example, the file I'm currently working on is 600,000kb and it is very laggy.  Anyone have any recommendations on where to build a powerful computer?  I mainly use Mastercam and Solidworks.

Any advice is appreciated.

What issues are you looking to see improved? Graphics lagging, Toolpath regen, dialogs opening, all of the above? 

What type of work / models do you see most? How much of your Mcam files are multiaxis vs 2D?

Do you typically have other software open? Outlook, web browsers?

I am looking to improve all of the above, but mainly the toolpath regen.

Currently I have a part that is Ø30.00 x 12.00" thk.  90% of the part is multiaxis toolpaths, and i currently have 40 toolpaths.

Whenever i work on files such as this, the only other thing open is my outlook.
