So i've got some money, and i been looking to upgrade 3 parts of my computer recently.
I can only afford one at the moment however, and i've been looking to upgrade one.
The choices are: GPU (Sell my current one and put in my paycheck money, current gpu : 7850 2gb) CPU ( A phenom X6 1605T) Or my monitor (Some unbranded monitor running at 1650x1080)

So, what would be sound to upgrade at the current moment?

quite frankly, i see little to no reason to upgrade anything with your setup. but if you really must then consider buying a bigger monitor first. then gauge how well your system performs before coming back here again for further input. but really, that rig is not bad at all, even at its current state.
 



Hi - ordinarily your best upgrade would be the GPU, however in your situation I believe you
should upgrade the CPU 1st. The 1065t is discontinued and no longer on Tom's hierarchy chart.
However, it was so close to the 1055t in speed which is tier 3 in AMD's gamer hierarchy, that
you should consider getting a tier 1 AM3+ CPU, FX6350, FX4350, etc.

You will prob realize increased performance without upgrading your 7850, altho that would be your
next upgrade.
