I'm still debating on the wheels, getting online will save me a good amount of money but will I really be happy in the long run with a possibly lower quality set of wheels.
to answer your question: Yes. You will be happy.
The only reason I feel to build up a wheelset is if you A) find a great deal on the components B) want to lace up something that you can't just buy off the shelf or C) you want to build something lightweight without spending the money on a pre-built wheel. . . . At least those are my 3 main reasons.
