Do I need a gaming monitor?

I'm looking to replace my old VGA screen and keyboard. My friends are recommending that I get a 144Hz gaming monitor but since I also use my PC a lot for work (music production, graphic design, video editing etc.), I'm leaning more towards an IPS monitor which is better colour and viewing angles, but a lower refresh rate.
I literally only ever play aoe2, so do I really need a gaming monitor? Has anyone upgraded from 60hz to 144Hz who can verify if it's made much difference? All the graphic designers seem to use IPS monitors. My gut feeling is that aoe2 is not graphic intensive enough for it to make a discernable difference but just want someone else to verify before I go ahead with the purchase. Thanks in advance.

p.s. What about mechanical keyboards? Worth it?
