Welcome Dude.
A lot of folks here love to build their own AR's from different parts to get their preferred setup, but if you're looking to hit the ground running, and you're a Lefty, I can strongly recommend Stag Arms as the AR of choice.

Ginsue's Feedback
I am new to the AR world too, but can not wait to get started. Picking up my new RRA with some goodies and a chrome lined barrel for a grand at 5280 on Sunday. Did a lot of shopping and this seemed like a killer price. The distributors are out of inventory thanks to the Dems, so make your move if you want one soon. Now I just need to meet up with some folks to shoot.
