A lot of folks are going to suggest getting a nice used saw and I can’t say I disagree. You should be aware, however, that many of the used saws won’t have a riving knife which I think is a great safety feature to have.

I got a Steel City 35990G and I like it a lot. It’s not a cabinet saw, (it’s a hybrid), but once it’s set up and tuned a little, it’s a super nice saw. Right now I’m building kitchen cabinets with it.. It has cabinet mounted trunions instead of the table mounted trunions found on a lot of the less expensive saws.
