You don't need the Intel graphics driver, they are actually deprecated [1].
Just set your VIDEO_CARDS to: VIDEO_CARDS="intel i965" and do emerge -uDNvp @world; when you do emerge --depclean, xf86-video-intel will be uninstalled. The built-in modesetting driver is the one recommended; I'm pretty sure it will support the maximum res of your new monitor. Regards.
