Forget the 10 gallon igloo cooler mashtun with stainless steel flase bottom dome or the pH meter (for now) let's start a list of the most important items that a beginner kit doesn't provide that can significantly affect brewing.
#1 on the list should be a stir plate with a 2L flask (2L because it accomadates most all of your brews and is only a few dollars more than a 1L flask) search how to make your own stir plate or buy a cheapo (cost not quality) one that uses a potentiometer, a DC fan and some magnants. I got mine for less than 40 bucks with shipping and making your own is even cheaper (Google it)
