On a budget look up DSA uppers. I think $375 for a complete upper. Spikes still has lowers for $89. DPMS lower parts kit is GTG for about $55. For a general purpose rifle the DPMS trigger will be just fine. You can also send the hammer and trigger to Bill Springfield for a tuning, $35 I think.
Chromelined barrels are nice but most civilians will never wear out a melonite or nitrite barrel, especially a college student. Ammo is expensive. 1/9 barrels tend to be cheaper than 1/7 barrels and you really don't need a 1/7 barrel.
Spend another $15 and buy an M16 MP tested BCG from Spikes ($135).
Shop the used or new parts classifieds on AR15.com and collect parts on the cheap.
Or just buy a complete CMMG bargain bin rifle.
