Hi everyone just coming back from being out of the game for a while. I posted in the Monk forums for some specific class advice but now I am moving here for some general questions. I guess my main problem is I only have about 200k gold right now and feel like I'm facing an insurmountable gear wall. How do I ever get enough gold to purchase set pieces or legendaries? With my current gear what is the best place to spend my farming time(Which Act)? Below is my Monk:
You can also do Act 1 on MP1 with your gear. Turning it to MP1 makes it drop the same level gear as Act 3-4 on MP0 but the mobs are generally easier. If you want some quick gold, buy a radiant star emerald from the RMAH for about $1.40 and sell it for about 24-25m gold. With that, you can get plenty of gear to get you in the 100k damage range and enough defense to farm MP3 for gear if you choose. If you want to do paragon leveling, Act 3 MP1 is the best.
Edit: Forgot to mention about what gear to choose. Search youtube for budget monk gear and builds, that will help you figure out what stats and what legendaries you want to aim for.
I think you can get at least a few pieces of good gear with 200k gold. Specially if you try to bid for stuff instead of buying them out (particularly on legendaries).
And a few hours farming Inferno/Hell should give you 500k-1mil, which is more than enough to assemble a good set (some legendaries are selling for as low as 20-50k gold).
The video below is a pretty good way to catch up on what are the good legendary items (with solid base stats and highest potential) for Monk.

Thanks so much everyone! I had forgotten about TryHard. This guide helped a lot and I was able to pick up a cheap Wo Khim Lau for only 25k. DPS is still only about 40k but I'm able to A1 on MP2 comfortably.
You should change Blinding Flash for either Wave of Light or Exploding Palm which should make it easier to farm when undergeared.
I enjoy the CC aspect of Blinding Light. I don't know if I've ever actually used Wave of Light. I mostly am hunting Elite packs in A1 as I don't care that much about Paragon leveling right now. That said which ability is better against elite packs?
