I used to race downhill mountain bikes... I know how to strip them to pieces and put them back together like the back of my hand now 
It depends on what you want. I bought a bike, now it has none of the original parts on it, including the frame (I broke about 4 )
Bustom built is good, but costs more you see...

To get a decent set up like that you should probably custom build, or upgrade... Do you really need disks though? They are expensive, and you normally end up with some right crap these days, especially on full suspension bikes.

well i would only go for one with hope
cable ones are shocking
to custom build though were talking over a grand i cant really spend that as it
is only for a recreational thing for fitness and as i like riding

get a norco full suspension bike, lot of bike for money. i have a specialized p1 that pretty good, back and front discs, and a solid bike, single speed but good for when you landing 5 to 10 feet drop and jumps. as the rear gearing doesnt get broke or make annoying sound all the time
