Re: Buying a guitar (electric)

rock mainly. I'd prefer something with a hard, driving sound similar to Jerry Cantrell of Alice in Chains for example.

Jerry used G&L guitars and Marshall amps on the first album. Both might be a little out of your price range.
Personally, I would buy a higher-level Ibanez or Schecter that is in your price range (make sure they have a humbucker pickup in the bridge position). Any good Gibson would be well beyond it. Do NOT buy a Strat for your musical style.
For an amp, I would find a used 5150 amp. You can probably find one in that range, and they have a surprisingly good tone. Otherwise, I would get the largest Line 6 combo amp you can afford. They have decent amp-modeling capabilities and decent speakers. Then you won't need any other effects or pedals.
Good luck. If you have specific questions, you can PM me.
