Where professional hardware starts
Five thousand dollars reaches entry professional workstations and the better-specified GB10 machines. The defining purchase at this level is memory behind a single graphics processor: an RTX PRO card holding 48GB or more lets a large model sit entirely in VRAM at full bandwidth, which no combination of cheaper parts replicates.
This is also the level at which ECC memory, certified drivers and real support enter the picture, and those matter when a job runs overnight and must not fail.
Still worth questioning
Plenty of people reach this budget and would be better served by a three thousand dollar machine plus hosted API credit for the occasional very large job. Buy at this level when the work is continuous, private, or both; otherwise the money works harder elsewhere.
