Ken,
You tube is your friend.
I gave my son a stripped lower and some parts. I can home from work and he was done with it.
He went on YouTube, and watched a few video's and borrowed a few tools from the gun room.....

Traditional upper has a dust cover and forward assist. Smooth doesn’t. I’d stay with a standard upper. I’d buy it assembled instead of stripped so both dust cover and FA is in place. Then you’d have to install barrel, gas tube and block, hand guard.
It’s not hard to put together an upper assembly, or a lower but some tools are required. Plenty of videos out there to help.
Easiest route other than buying a complete rifle would probably be to buy a complete upper already assembled, with or without a lower kit. Buy lower and parts sperately if needed. You would need an stripped lowers, lower parts kit (you can get them with and without trigger group). Then assemble the lower yourself using the trigger and buttstock of your choice. You would need an armorers wrench to torque and install the castle nut on the buffer tube extension. Read up on staking. None of it is rocket science.
Upper assembly from parts takes a little more know how and tools but still not difficult. You can get into “truing” receiver face, bedding barrel extension etc. if you want to go to that level of detail. I’ve done a few of both with no issues.
Tell us what you expect from the rifle and it’s intended use, and what you want to spend and you’ll get plenty of recommendations
