So I'm pretty set on buying myself a Palmetto PTAC Upper receiver and getting a mil spec Bolt Carrier Group and a Bravo company Ambidextrous Charging handle.
I hear a lot of negatives about the PTAC upper.
My Price range is about 550 for the rifle not including accessories.
Moving on to optics, I think I'm gonna get a Eotech 512, thoughts, /k/?
That's laughable.

also garbage
What about the lower? If you've heard bad things it's probably not worth your money. For like $650 you can get a s&w m&p15 sport. It will be a decent rifle for a beginner. As for the eotech I'd advise you to go with something else. An aimpoint pro would be better in my opinion.

You're a dumb fuck.
Please buy a shit gun and waste money on an unnecessary optic.

I like the shape of the eotech reticle, I use it alot in games - also, their products are supposedly better now. my lower is going to be a PSA Magpul CTR lower for 180 bucks

As far as gun knowledge is concerned, it means jack shit.
If that's the first AR you're buying, just get yourself a basic, starter rifle. Don't go trying to build on when you don't have any experience with the gun or the building process (and no, the time you spent cleaning your m16/m4 doesn't count), especially when your budget indicates that you cannot afford to waste money on a failed rifle.
Get a basic, starter AR, fire a couple hundred rounds, get used to the gun and it's workings, get some advice from people who know their way around AR building (have built a few themselves), and THEN you can envision building your own.
S&W M&P 15 Sport 2 is close to your budget and has a good rep.
Feel free to ignore, just my 0.02$
