If you have the time, I say build your own. I knew nothing about bike building when I started, but there are tons of guides, information and advice both on here and on google, and ended up doing rather well (even if I say so myself). Plus I learnt a great deal, which saves dorrah in the long term because you can fix problems yourself. And think of the satisfaction of riding your own creation.
Admittedly, I spent nearly twice what you did, but then I could of spent much less if I had chosen to and bothered to search long and hard enough.
