If you want to get into drones, I highly suggest this drone. It's not the most expensive but it's by DJI and they're pretty great when it comes to quadcopters and gimbals and cameras
Phantom 3 Standard went down i see, $488 2 days ago, $460 today.

And i've seen Pro just for $800, and i would invest into that. Just returned from flying advanced, and that's awesome.
Amazon has the same deal, or an extra battery for another $100. For those that want it with Prime shipping. http://www.amazon.com/DJI-Recording-Phantom-Standard-Quadcopter/dp/B013U0F6EQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1441894405&sr=8-1&keywords=phantom+standard
So tempted. I would have clicked order already if I hadn't just spent $1400 on my truck last night.
Ah, then I would just go with the Phantom 3 standard. Amazon has it for around 500 here
Not working anymore. I think they sold out.
But this was it: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B013U0F6EQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Phantom 3 Standard, ~$440. Get two extra batteries for $50 each.
Just found this on amazon,

Am I missing something? Is a P3 different from Phantom 3? Or is it a major steal?

About $475 new. Used you can maybe find them for $350. Probably your best bet for lower budget.

Phantom 3 well under $2k: https://www.amazon.com/DJI-Phantom-Standard-Quadcopter-Camera/dp/B013U0F6EQ
Phantom 3 Standard is $479 which is a very good deal. It goes on sale often too for like $400.
I'm building a f450 clone (like OP's) but I'm starting with an $80 kit from aliexpress. So far the total price is under $300 including fpv setup and a cheap Tx.
But the Phantom 3 Standard is a complete assembled package with strong app support, comes with a Tx, camera gimbal, etc. Although no FPV it looks like, it's still a good deal.
$469. Just need to plug in a smartphone or tablet.
Alternatively you can buy a new one on amazon for $500 https://www.amazon.com/DJI-Phantom-P3-STANDARD-Quadcopter-Camera/dp/B013U0F6EQ/
Or a refurbished model for $430 https://www.amazon.com/DJI-Phantom-Standard-Refurbished-Official/dp/B01GQ26MES
