I see a cheap wheelset and simple taiwanese carbon frameset. It is hardly worth $2600, unless bicycles have gone up in price dramatically.

Frugal man that I am, I'd advise a cheap starter bike (used even). Spend the remaining dollars on pro fitting (do this before you buy, even) along with the stem and saddle to work with you. Allocate some bucks on some riding gear.

So many ways to approach this, but if I had to do it all over again, I like Jim Bremner's approach. I would have saved so much time and hassle if I would have been fitted by a pro.
