What kind of AR-15 do you want? Home defense, range gun, plinker, competition, hunting, ultra light, handy, hood ornament...?
Have you had any time behind a "stock" AR-15? That might be a place to start. Figure out what works for you and what doesn't.
Don't get too caught up in the "best" parts. There are a lot of quality mid-grade parts that will work just fine.
