The parts aren't really that expensive... it's the labor that gets you. I honestly wouldn't skimp on internals anyway though. I think if you are going to build your motor, do it right.

Do you plan to do all the labor yourself, besides the machine work I am assuming?

Well then what are your goals? Are you going high compression NA, or are you thinking about going boost?

each has their own set of guidelines you kinda have to follow when it comes to buying the goods.
