Would I be better off building one?

Possibly not.
If you want accuracy and dependability, there are a lot of already built options in rifle and carbine length that are very good value for money.
Assembling your own is a great alternative of you are having a problem finding what you want (eg a specific barrel and handguard combination) in as built form. However then you have all the specific tools to build more - and the ever present temptation to assemble another.
I have a 16 inch midlength chrome lined pencil barrel upper with an A2 front sight from before my purchase of upper build tools. I can't bring myself to sell it because it's pretty accurate, dependable and light. I never "needed" anything I've built since.
