Upgrading my studio. $1500 to $2000 budget

What's good everyone here at gearslutz. Towards the end of the year I am going to make some more purchases and need you all help. I would love to hear your recommendations on mic pre, studio monitors, and possible acoustic treatment, and whatever else I can cram in. I currently have the AT3035 mic with the mbox 2 pro and some roland dm10 or 20 monitors not at my house right now.
So drop some suggestions and yes I've did the search and so forth but would really like to hear some suggestions.

Treat your room first then upgrade your monitors... Once your listening enviornment is up to par then work on your vocal chain...

Post your rooms dimensions in the Studio construction and acoustic forum and you will get the best answers there... Real Pro acoustic engineers lurk in there...
