If you have an actual reason to build the bike up yourself, you can make those decisions for yourself. There's no generally "correct" answer.

If your goal is as vague as "I want a road bike", you'll get massively more bang for your buck just buying a road bike.
If you want us to help sort out your custom build, we'll need to know
why you're doing a custom build, what you're trying to accomplish with it.
