I think it is really hard to do a custom tank on a budget. If you are starting from scratch, you should probably think in the 5-7k range for your tank, stand, lighting. If you have to save for it, you might be better off picking up one of the incredible deals that show up on here so often. When one of our fellow adicts has to give it up for a while.
You could start out with your basic set up and then upgrade the equipment as you save for it.
