As for the build, perhaps get an LBS to install just the headset, bottom bracket, and crankset, and you can handle the remainder, which should not be difficult if you are at least somewhat mechanically inclined.
No personal experience, but from A few comments that gr300 is overly stiff in the front.
Fwiw take it or leave it. Definitely something to think about before committing to building it.
