have a single monitor 22" in size

what is the best value for money upgrade?

I play games mainly (skyrim Civ V) with occasional photo shop work.

Quad core?

new GPU?

Larger Monitor?

You don't really need to upgrade... I would just keep the money.

Only upgrade would be GPU or CPU.

You GPU should be fine.

The only thing i'd think about doing is a grabbing a secondhand 3550/2500/2400.
