spend the money on getting a bike a level or two further up.

but yes forks pants.

if you are definatly going with that, then forks and pedals to start off with, then bottom bracket and stem

Upgrade most things when they wear out, but yes, same as the other 2 I'd say forks - Toras aren't bad, they work really well for the price but you'll need to spend more if you're after weight saving.

Fork for sure then maybe wheelset. Change the rest when it wears out as it won't make much difference performance wise.
