Microphone advice, Studio set up

I will be setting up a recording area in my new place when i move in. I have never done this before, however i have a budget of from 3-4 thousand.
I am a hip-hop artist, and i would like my equipment to reflect that (focus on vocals)

I have a macbook pro with the standard soundcard and an mpd 26
i will be getting a version of logic soon.

Currently i have been using a the yeti USB microphone, which i thought was amazing at the start, but now i have realized that the quality is no where near what i need.
I want to invest in the Rode K2 microphone, good choice?
I was also thinking about replacing the stock tube with the Amperex Bugle Boy 6DJ8/ECC88, i know this will void the warranty, but i have heard the sound is much more full

I was also thinking of buying a FMR RNC-1773 "really nice" compressor, however i was wondering if there are better ones for under $1000, also should i go for a compressor like this or a channel strip? why?

finally, i was going to get some basstraps.

What do you think of these? is there anything else I should invest in?
