I know about all the name brands, but I'm a little fuzzy on the off brands, because I haven't been paying attention in class.

I haven't been paying attention to pricing for a while, but a few of my go-tos for decent quality ARs are Ruger, Windam Weaponry, and AeroPrecision Firearms. All are solid performers with better than average accuracy at a reasonable price. Ruger also has the best customer service/'warranty' in the business.
Windam was founded by the original owner of Bushmaster, before the quality went down when the new owners bought Bushmaster. Also very good customer service, iirc.
Aeroprecision was actually a military grade aircraft parts manufacturer before they got into firearms parts manufacturing, and have a reputation for high quality builds. I've bought parts from them and was always satisfied with them. But you can buy a completed rifle off their site if you don't want to 'build' one.
