Best turntable/cartridge/phono preamp combo

I allready have tons of vinyl that I collected mainly because it's in very good condition and was thinking that I could save it and sell later for more money. I am just just looking for a really good turntable preamp cartridge combo. I want to know the best way to spend my 1500 on these components. I also plan on using this setup to turn lps into cds via my powermac, So I want somthing that will accuratly reproduce what is on the record and not add any color. Also would I be better of buy sperate parts to make my own turntable or just getting one stock. Also should I go MM or MC which will give me more accurate sound??

Thanks
