It does not matter what brand you're buying, no one will force you, to buy it with a kit lens, you can always buy the body alone. The Nikon you mentioned is a very fine camera and a good choice, you should be happy with it, but if you're just getting your feet wet, the camera you already own, is no slouch either. If you have a problem with that lens, that can't be solved, maybe just buy another lens.
Well actually, apparently you can't buy the D3300 body by itself in the U.S. If you have a reputable source, I'd be interested in knowing about it. I've seen the 3300 body only on some websites, like AJRichie.com but I'm leary about it
