You can purchase a PSA rifle complete, no need for the kit,
Personally I bought a PSA upper (assembled) that included the lower parts kit (Like the one Stick posted,) and assembled it in about an hour.
I would have gotten a blemished lower, but there were none in stock, so I bought the cheapest one they had - seems like it was just over $100.
There are lots of good youtube videos (even a series from Midway USA) on assembly.
It's MUCH easier with the proper tools, but if you're getting one "just to try" I certainly don't recommend buying all the special Armorer's Tools.
I have them, I'm in Savannah, You can come over and put the kit together, or I can send the to you.
The advantage of coming here is there is a PSA store about 10 miles from me.
