Build a lower. Then you can pick any upper you want. You aren't shackled by what manufacturers offer.

I really wouldn't recommend a build for someone who is new to the AR-15. Sure, it's a pretty simple design, but there are a lot of little issues that are difficult to deal with unless you have friends who can give you advice. Also, depending on which parts you're assembling, there will probably be an investment in tools needed. Also, a build is only a good financial decision for someone who wants a custom rifle and knows exactly what they want. Otherwise it's usually cheaper (and definitely easier) to just buy a good factory-made rifle.
