Narrowed down my target needs, Still having difficulty.

This is a quick build based on what I KNOW. One thing Linus and most youtubers are not accounting for audience wise, is not every potential gamer will be gaming at 1440 or even 4K, so tuting these modern parts as if they are the norm is fine and dandy for someone needing that 4K support, or want to push 1440p60+.

For gaming: I want to crush 1080p60 on ultra everything.
I will namely be playing BF4, SWBF/2, Destiny 2 on release
Emulation is typical here, namely things like 3DS, Gamecube, Wii, PSX/2. WiiU emulation considered eventually, though my actual console is collecting dust right now because I lack an interest in many of the titles on said console. The reason for emulation is simple enough, such as the ability to improve internal resolution of the games, mods without online ban from modifications, etc.

User Specific: This is where things get a bit more... murky. I need a CPU that you would use if you were planning a 1440p60 build, need 4 cores minimum, 6 maximum. The reason for this is programming games, and running VMs, such as linux. The additional power provided here, especially for programming would allow me to quickly playtest my games on the fly, while still having Unity, Visual studio, Max, and photoshop active in the background. Seems an odd request at first, until you realize just how CPU intensive things can get. I can already run Unity and Visual Studio in tandem on my phenom II x4 945, though it shows bottlenecking before I even run other utilities, and testing my game in development which is far from resource intensive at the moment (primitive cubes, spheres, etc. Uses about the same resources right now as the nintendo old 3DS) takes a good while just to run. Compiling takes ages.

Multimedia: Another reasoning for the additional CPU horsepower, is video compilation. I have a YouTube channel that I share my music and occasional funny gameplay videos on. Sharing straight from my PS4 is harder than editing within a PC, and compiling videos on my current build at 720p30/1080p30 can take anywhere from 15 minutes for a 10 minute clip, to 2 hours for a full hour of gameplay.
Generally speaking, it's way too slow.

Perefs: I am wanting to code for VR, so oculus support is critical here. Not so crazy about using it for games aside from as 3D monitor solution rather than actual VR content. Since I am susceptible to motion sickness (I literally cannot use google cardboard or samsung VR because framerate is too low), I need to be pushing the recommended frames in VR.

Leastly, I piced team red in this template because price to perf is amazing in comparison to intel right now.
If I were trying to do twitch streams, or push 4k gaming, I would probably do an all in intel build, rather than trying to get my target for the lowest possible cost.
Ultimately, IDGAS about fancy RGB, or even a fancy case. That motherboard I chose supports RGB, and personally I would just slap in some RGB lights and set them white or blue permanently. Not too fond of that motherboards red LED's because of this reason.
Lighting option and windowed case is a definite must though, as initially I won't target RGB, but eventually I would buy the parts at a later time, once I am have spare cash to boot.

So can someone help with a build here for my specific needs? I can answer any further questions if need be.
I also currently own a PSU rated for 530W that can be used for now, though a case replacement is sadly necessary because of it maxing at usb 2.0, poor airflow design, as well as cosmetic damage slightly warping it.

Some parts, the SSD in particular, seem unnecessarily overkill. You're on a budget so getting the Samsung 960 EVO (which you won't see the difference when compared to a regular SSD) shouldn't be a priority.

 

I've adjusted the build a bit so you have 16GB of 3000MHz RAM, a decent power supply and most importantly, a hexacore R5 1600.

Based on these alternative solutions, I assume the 1600 is worth the additional cost over the 1500X, which I have decided to go with.
I dropped the wifi card for now, as I have a USB option, and intend to hardwire ASAP.
The PSU options are nice to keep in mind, but I don't even need a PSU upgrade at this moment.
I also decided to lean with a 1060.
I opted to go with a cheaper NZXT case due to no crap given about fancy displaying a budget replacement machine, since I can set aside more money over time for a true no compromise upgrade.
I fail to understand the point of 3000MHz ram when Linus has made multiple videos showing that the gains are minimal. Unless there is a justified reason, I will not be changing my ram option from what I currently have picked.

I revised the list over time, before I even saw these replies. Here is the new list, sitting me at a sweet price point that is quickly achievable a part at a time. I would like to stick between $650 - $700 for now.
