I really like my AR's.  (Except I lost a lot of 17 Remington brass shooting coyotes before I bought a brass catcher!).   

To answer the build it or buy it question... I'd say build it.  Buy a good quality wrench, vise blocks, and a DVD.  Then shop for parts.

If you must by it, watch the "Bargain Bin" at CMMG.  I have bought a couple uppers and one complete rifle from them, that were all cheaper than I could build them.

Got my last two antelope with a DTech upper in 25 WSSM, my wife got her speed goat with her 6.5 Grendel. 

Looking at building a 20 Practical, or a 6 DTI next.

AR's are like eating chips...you can't stop at one!
Work to live, don't live to work.

You can educate away ignorance, sober up drunkenness, but you can't fix stupid.

A friend of mine couldn't decide whether he wanted a 20 Tactical or a 20 Practical.  He decided to go with the 20 Tactical when he found that all he had to do was neck down a .223 case.  If he loses a case in the brush, no biggie.

The Grendel is based on a lot of older cartridgeslike the 7.62x39, but it takes what is called a "class II" bolt.  The 7.62 bolt chambers the round, but won't lock up.  Waiting for another bolt now.  That's all I lack to get mine up and running.  I have 5 other ARs, so it's not like I don't have anything to shoot!  :chuckle:
If it was easy, everybody would be doing it.
