Sort it out as cheaply as possible, forget about the gap on the fork, just get it sorted first and then ride it (also make sure it's exactly your size, too many people build up their first bike only to realise they're not the giant they think they are).
Don't spend silly money on something you haven't ridden yet, do that later when you know what you want.
