New Monk

[Halius]

Hey all just wanted to get opinions on what would be the best bet for twinking a monk. I'm not rich enough to afford anything like a Fungi, but I have about 7.5k to use on a new monk. I'm just getting bored with my mage right now and would like to do something other than play a caster. Would my best bet be to just use the majority of it on a FBSS and then get like cured silk and maybe a couple wu's staffs? Or should I just focus on HP rings, and stat gear and some better weapons? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
