If I were you this is what I would do -
1. Buy the cheapest DSLR in the market, Nikon D3100 would be ideal. Buy the body only. Abuse it for good five years and hone your photographic skills then replace it with a full frame. Maybe Nikon 900 if they make one in the future.
2. Kit lens might sound a good idea, but how about coupling your D3100 with 50mm 1.4G? That is the cheapest pro level lens. And I'd say it for the billionth time, buy a cheap camera but start investing on lenses.
The reason I am saying this is becuase - I bought D40, but with a kit lens, a rickety tripod, a bag I'd soon throw away and added 55-200mm 5.6 lens to it. When I sold all of them later, I couldn't even get 50% of the original price. So buy D3100, and get a 50mm 1.4G (a good lens for indoor outdoor photography) and as you learn more, you could buy more lenses and replace your DSLR.
