My core is an i5 2500k and a GTX 570 with 8 gigs RAM. I can run most games at high to ultra settings at an average of about 60 fps...a little lower for BF3. havent tested it to the max yet but the point is its a pretty good setup to last me another 3-4 years with high settings. For $3000 though you can afford the best of the best. I spent about $1300 on my setup.
In your case though, for the music, im not sure what kind of chip you might want to get. Search forums and google. And check out Newegg comment sections on parts you are interested in.
Once you find the chip, finding motherboard and RAM especially is no problem. Just make sure you buy a compatible motherboard for your chip and make sure it has all the features and docks for your desired setup.

With 3 stacks, you could upgrade your PC and get a decent entertainment setup.
the PC is the most important...you can do anything you want with that being the strongest part of your setup
I shall enter this thread after work.
Add a GTX 690 to your cart if you can find one or else 2x 680s. If you ain't bout that life stay out of this.
work.
Here,
Add a grand for a GTX 690 or bit more for 2 GTX 680s. If only for gaming drop down processor to an i5-3750k. Add a Corsair or Seasonic 850W PSU and figure out what case you'd like, add about $400 for a Korean 2560x1440 jump off and you got the best set up that budget can buy and should be good for years to come.
This nikka got 3 grand to spend and you mufukkas giving him a baby budget build. Next nikkas going to be recommending 6850s and a bulldozer CPU.

Your never gonna be able to future proof for 5 years. But with 3 g'z you can put together quite a system. Just go all out and get a gtx 690 and a new i7.

An since your worried about audio get a mobo with a optical s/pdif out. Or get a dedicated sound card but there pretty unnecessary these days.

I rock a Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium. Very worth it compared to onboard audio, imo.
