You'll a get a gazillion suggestions on what to build. However, if you want to know HOW to build an AR, go here: http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=3&f=4&t=226782
Take some time to figure what you want to do with your AR15 and then start reading what you need/want. The "trip" to get there is half the fun. Good luck

I just finished building my AR-15 and I have to say that I had no clue what a pain it was going to be to put on the free floating quad rail. I've put them on before but the one I ordered involved removing the front sight assy. There are others quad rails out there that only need 2 bolts to fasten on.
To sum up, make sure you or somebody around knows what they're doing or you may end up with a box of AR parts.

Stay with the .223/5.56 as this is the standard cal for AR-15s. The first and third pic show 10.5" barrels and extras. Consider your build in sections
1- Upper Flat top upper with X" length barrel. Will need a low profile gas block or grind down the original if you are putting a railed forend on over 7". Sights and scopes/dotsights are a bolt on affair
2- Lower 2a-Reciever and trigger group ect
2b- stock ect(looks like you want the folding carbine style) get a pic of the exact model and shop the dealers up top or the EE as they are hard to get over the border now
If you shop the EE you will find a good selection of short uppers from 7"-10" 14.5" ect look around a bit. $3000 will get you a nice setup
here are some pics of what i want it to look like.
hope this helps out.
Now THAT'S a nice looking rifle, if I say so myself.
Some of us get it right first time.
