Cat6 or 7, buy whatever is cheapest. Unless you have some crazy bandwidth, you won't be able to tell the difference.
I am not an advocate for AIO comps, but if you MUST, get one with decent specs. An i7 is definitely not needed, you could drop to a good i5 and save some money. 16GB of RAM minimum, and find something with decent storage space, preferably all SSD (500GB+).
For monitors, 1080p minimum. You don't sound like you will be gaming on it, so 60 Hz refresh rate is fine, buy whatever you like. I have a ViewSonic 1440p 144Hz monitor I got on sale, an it has worked great for years. Same with my Samsung 1080p monitor, also works great. Buy what has decent reviews for the cheapest.
