I was in the same situation at one time. The BM was purchased used but looked well taken care of. My first time out I had a FTE on the 10th round and reseated the magazine and was good. I replaced all the mags that came with the purchase with New Magpul's and also replaced the basic items you found in the sticky's on this great site. From that point on I have used it in 4 classes and put 5,335 rounds to this day without any problems except a fresh mag kept falling out during training (Mag #6) and Magpul sent a new one ASAP. I did save up and purchased a few more upper tier AR's but never felt the BM would let me down.
So I agree with Grant and spend the money on training with the basic mods to your BM and as time goes by you will know if additional $$ is available to purchase your dream gun.
