ya you could definitely use a new build. I realistically don't see a 4790/6700k lasting drastically longer than the much less expensive 4460/6500 build.
I think that with a good bang for the buck gfx card that you upgrade in ~24mo with another bang for the buck gfx card yields good results. Or at least it has for the last 8 or so years. Keep the processor a bit longer
It's not going to affect fps, just use a bit more idle power, I used to run 3 displays off an APU
You probably don't need a sound card or a DAC at most new headphones

That'd be the monitor to get, 144hz, but only TN
I'd probably step the budget up a bit so you can enjoy SSDs and go with a current gen skylake for a bit more longevity.
Personally I really like having a windows SSD, a games SSD, and a storage/games hard drive.
SSDs are seriously amazing they make using windows enjoyable lol
