A 2600x will likely do 165Hz just fine. (Depends on the games ofc)

I'd say upgrade the monitor first, if you feel like you really need it, upgrade the CPU later. 

You'll get an immediate benefit from the monitor in absolutely everything. You'll only notice the CPU upgrade here or there, if at all depending on your day-to-day use case(s).

mine does with a 2070 for rocket league, usually sits around 70% usage when the fps is not limited in geforce settings.

The best gaming PC is the PC you like to game on, how you like to game on it

This isn't even a question.  Your CPU is 4 years old.  Your monitor was out of date before your CPU was being alpha tested.
