Buying makes more sense unless you know what you're doing and/or want to feel the personal satisfaction. Building your own will likely cost you more than buying a comparably equipped ride. Additionally, building your own does require that you do the necessary research to obtain the correct components.

Another option would be to buy a used bike and upgrade it, as needed.

Welcome the forums! It doesn't take much skill to build a bike, and a BMX is super easy, since you don't have to mess with a multi-gear drivetrain. Of course, unless you have access to tools and can get some deals on parts, a complete is usually less expensive.
