I would look at buying a frame and building it up yourself with low end parts then up grade one by one as your budget allows,if you have the skills and tools. but any co-op will be a huge help when building up your first bike.

I plan on doing a frame up build. My current bike is a Diamondback Sync'r, which came stock loaded with race face everything and a 1x10. It's an aggressive hardtail, if you're not familiar with it. Going to upgrade the fork to a X-fusion Sweep RL2 in preparation to use it on a later build. It's a fun bike and feels indestructible. If I go FS, probably going the Kona Process route.
