Be careful buying parts at a gun show. The quality of unknown parts could come back to haunt you.
You can build the AR15 for about half the cost of the .308 AR platform. The .308 platform does not share the parts sharing that the AR15 does. It is very propitiatory with the uppers, lowers,magazines and a some small parts.
Surplus 5.56 is less than half the cost of surplus 7.62.

This is a great way to go. A high quality rifle in your price range. Buy the first one and learn about the rifle and it's operation and parts. Then go on a building binge.
