In terms of GPU it's doable, you'd need something around a Fury X / 980 Ti, maybe a bit better, so that should line up perfectly with the new GPUs (Pascal/Polaris) in the 300-400$ bracket.
I'm really concerned with the CPU requirements for 144fps though. I don't think it's doable, even with overclocking. On that note:
Overclocking yes or no?
Either way I can't make a partlist until all parts are actually available (one more month for Pascal/Polaris) since the prices would change too much.
Does he really need a completely new build though?

600$ is more than enough.
Just for TF2 you could get away with the iGPU.

For other games I'd throw in a discrete GPU as well.
Maxing out the budget the best possible would be a 380 (can do 60 fps in Fallout 4 @1080p Ultra). If you absolutely have to keep it under 600$ drop down to the i3-6300 instead of the 6320.

You could wait another month for the new GPUs, if nothing else there'll be some price drops, but it won't change that much.

1. You can't just assume. You'd drop a few hundred Euro on upgrades and just hope you guessed right? Rip wallet.
2. There are no reviews yet and the GTX 1070 isn't available yet. There is no way to know if it would make sense at all. We don't know if the 480X might not be the better option either, since we know nothing about that one too.
3. If this is just about RAM capacity you could just get another 16GB kit of DDR3. Worst case if you need higher speed as well or if all slots are already full you get a 32GB kit. Way cheaper than a new CPU, a new mobo and 32GB RAM.
So basically you should absolutely not do any of what you just said.
First figure out what's actually holding you back. Like I said if you just need more RAM that's a cheap and easy fix.
I also doubt that it's your GPU. It would be nice to know which editing software you use, but even those that do use GPU acceleration are almost never bottlenecked by the GPU. The reason why you'd want GPU acceleration in the first place is because your CPU is a bottleneck (which is perfectly normal for rendering, really).
If it does turn out to be the CPU I need to know your budget. Because going from a Quadcore to another Quadcore (e.g. i7-6700K, maybe i7-7700K if you'd be willing to wait) that's 20% faster at best and maybe 10% higher clocked (I don't know how much you overclocked the 3770K) won't do a whole lot. At least personally I think dropping 500€ for 30% more performance isn't worth it.
Another 100€ would get you a lower clocked 6 core so that's about 30% on top of that. The question is do you think 600€ for 50-70% better performance is worth it?
The higher clocked Intel 6 cores wouldn't really be worth it, since you're paying 100-200€ for just marginally higher clockrates.
Then there's the 8 and soon 10 cores from Intel for 1000€ and 1500€ respectively which would put you somewhere around 1300/1800€ total. Sure, twice your current performance or even better is nice, but if I had to guess I'd say it's not within your budget.
There's one option if you're willing to wait though. With AMD's Zen we should be seeing some much more reasonably priced 6 and 8 cores.
