So is it better now to by another pre-built as close as the specs you want as possible and go from there ?? Or wait hoping parts will start to drop to build one ??

Your call for sure. Location (to a supplier) can have a huge impact on it.
For example...I can swing by PrimaryArms while visiting my kid in Houston. They are a mile up the road. I can pick up an Anderson lower for 30 bucks and a dab of tax. They transfer and no shippin. Normally (you) would have 49 bucks + shippin + 25 FFL (or so)
Then you surf by DeltaTeamTactical and pick up a kit for 219-239 and a bit of shippin.
I can literally be into an AR for around the 250 mark.
Palmetto has good prices
Tacticalstuff also (you gotta change "stuff" to that other word)
Brownells throws crazy pricing up sometimes.
Saw M&P Sport II's at Palmetto for 399 the other day. They sold out in less than an hour
