As someone that just built an AR15 I can give you a few tips:
1) buy the best AR15 wrench you can find. Mine is stainless steel and it was nice to have a little extra strength.
2) Buy a Vice Block! This would have made my life much easier when I was putting the Barrel on.
3) Use oil to assemble, don't skimp
4) relax, its fun to build something yourself!
I used the ARFCOM build instructions.

Here's another good video

http://www.brownells.com/.aspx/lid=11004/GunTechdetail/How_to_Build_An_AR_15_Video

but go over to ARFCOM and read up in the AR 15 "Build it youself" section-everything is there.

If you can't do it from these series of video's you should look for another hobby.

There's a bunch of pretty informative videos on YouTube.

Often-overlooked issue: use molybdenum disulfide paste on the barrel nut threads. A little jar is under $10 and will last for dozens of builds.

Youtube, a mag well vice block, a set of small cheap punch's, a tiny brass mallet and you should be good to go. This is for a lower build, the other guys will have to help with building a complete upper.

You can order everything completed except the fire control kit.
I've built several this way.

I did the easy build. Bought a cheap stripped lower, built it completely, and then bought a complete upper minus BCG. Add optic, BUIS, sling, mags, voila.
