> my limiting factor is most likely my DAC
Not at all. You have powered monitors, so there is hardly any harmonic distortion from your DAC, limiting will most definitely either be the turntable or the quality of the vinyl.
However, if you want to record then you need an Audio Interface instead of a dedicated DAC. Something with ADC and DAC.
Next, to connect the turntable to powered studio monitors without using a standard home amplifier you'll need a dedicated phono preamp.
A phono preamp with two line level outputs then an audio interface with two line inputs and three outputs (stereo + sub) is the minimum to look for if you want to record.
I think this might actually be a better option, though. It's a phono preamp, headphone amp, ADC and USB audio I/O interface.
In your price range.
That's a pretty good setup - those little Focusrites are surprisingly good interfaces. What are you looking to record (music, voice overs, etc.)? What DAW will you be using? Do you plan on recording instrumentation of any kind?
My only other thought is research - learn a little about noise cancellation, basic EQ'ing, etc. Some form of midi controller could also turn out to be handy in the near future.
If the more expensive one has switchable polar patterns, I think that can be a useful feature, especially if this is your one and only microphone.
But you might want to put that $50 toward a reflection filter. They can go a long way toward getting a really clean vocal track.

What about this one?
Get a turntable, an amp/receiver with stereo in, and one of these so you can hook your computer up to the amp.
What kind of inputs do your speakers have? If they're already powered then they may not need an amp, just some sort of receiver/converter.
Also get some foam pads, they make a big, big difference. The low end will tighten up a lot. https://www.amazon.com/Auralex-Acoustics-Acoustic-Isolation-Charcoal/dp/B009EPP1EM?th=1
Now that you mention it...why aren't there hanging rack kits?
I did find this interesting rack/desk just perusing: https://www.amazon.com/Studio-Trends-Desk-Racks-Cherry/dp/B00869EBIO/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1499304200&sr=8-2&keywords=outboard+rack+desk
Not that it helps you any sorry, just starting to think about my own setup again...
