step 1. make probes and chronoboost them
step 2. don't get supply blocked
step 3. spend money on other stuff
as a silver you need to worry about the basics of the game (ie macro). If you can't get the probes right builds become redundant and even detrimental.
If you can macro right and have a general idea of what sort of style you want to do, the "proper builds" just sort of happen.
Thanks for the advice. I can get 16 probes on each base, and I don't get supply blocked often at all. I'm able to easily spend all my money. From my replays I can see that my T opponents that beat me with 2 and 3 bases have a harder time with supply blocks and spending their money than I do.
I also use base camera hotkeys and like 10 control groups.
I wish that I could just not get supply blocked out of my league but it doesn't seem to be the case. I'm 4 times ex gold stuck in silver atm.
