Welcome to the forum!
I can second what Rick and Chuck and others have said about support on the Chinese machines. No first hand experience but have heard enough to know that if you're a tinkerer and good at electronics and mechanics then you'll probably be ok with one but don't count on getting on the phone with tech support for help.
Last year we built a Fine Line Automation 2x4 machine and it's been great (you can find the build
here). And I have heard nothing but good things on the Probotix and CNC Router Parts like Mike and others have in their shops.
If you're wanting to do 3D carvings and a fairly easy to use interface then the Vectric line of products will serve you well. If you are more of a tech nut and get into the CAD world a bit more then Fusion 360 is a good choice, especially since it's free.
