Reaktor 5 goes for about $400. You can also buy ensembles for it very cheaply.

As has been mentioned, Reaktor is a hardware hog and depending on your configuration, may give you problems.

But it is in many ways the Rolls Royce of synthesizers. And you can build your own "synths" known as the ensembles.

Be aware that there are many, many software synthesizers out there. EastWest also do dedicated sample playback instruments that, depending on your style, can provide great sounds.

Also look at ilio's Atmosphere, Arturia's emulation of Moog synths and just keep looking. There's a ton out there.
