You might consider a D300 and get better glass. With a $5000 budget the D700 eats up $3000 leaving only $2000 for glass. You end up with a lot slower consumer level glass that way.
I think you are forgetting that DX demands 1.2 stops faster lenses for being \"as fast\" as lenses are on FX. There are no equivalents to 24-70/2.8, 50/1.4 and 85/1.4 for DX. Not to mention the \"slow\" wide angles of f/2.8.
With a $5000 budget and no long teles involved, FX is a no-brainer. A cheap Tamron 28-75/2.8 on FX will easily blow away the 17-55 on DX (edit: not the build though).
