Brodady: I would suggest you ask some questions of yourself first before you set you budget.
1. Do you want to build the upper or rifle yourself or do you want one already built?
2. What will I be using the end product( rifle) for? just hunting, some hunting and some target shooting, just target shooting,etc.
3. What level of accuracy will you be happy with? This is a tough one as a lot of people( me included) underestimate or overestimate this so they either over or under buy.
As I mentioned to you, I went through three different uppers before I settled on what I really would be happy with.
4. What other accessories( bipod, laser, vertical forward grip,etc.) will you end up wanting to mount on the rifle? Some of these will determine what parts you will need. For
instance, if you want to mount a forward vertical grip you will need either a handguard or monolithic upper that has a way to mount it to them( rails or mounting areas).
5. I'm sure there are other questions you may want to answer for yourself but hopefully you get the idea.
You then may want to start a list of all the parts you want and modify the list as you change your mind or you get better info.
Good Luck and keep asking questions.
