Is there a CPU with the "threading" thing, Intel Quick Sync Video, Virtualzation Technology and with Intel 64 that I can get? What prefered CPUs does the program reccomend, and does that CPU have those features? Are you telling me that I need to start from scratch by getting something that might help for the program, because if that's a yes, okay then. The Z170A Titanium motherboard by MSI only supports LGA 1151 CPUs, and the best ones for Dolphin are 1150.
Last question: What GPU works 100% better, and would I need the "threading" thing for OBS to record while I use the emulator without any issues?
What I meant is that compared to the i5 that you also had as an option, it is better for you to go with an i7 (either the 4790K or the newer 6700K) because they have hyper-threading. As for the other features you are looking for, Quick Sync Video, Virtualization and 64-bit are all found on most modern Intel CPUs. Only hyper-threading is not available on an i5.
Intel has made quite a lot of improvements to their virtualization in the latest generation, so if that is one of your main goals, there's little reason not to buy the 6700K. If you only do lighter virtualization, then it's worth checking out if you can find the 4790K for a lot cheaper than the 6700K since in the end they perform very close to each other. Both are beasts and have no trouble with any pc game or Dolphin at least once overclocked.

You make it sound like there is a huge difference in performance between the two i7s, which is not the case. Sure, the 6700K is faster, but not by a lot. Here are a couple of benchmarks that can hopefully give OP a good idea of their performance (Dolphin, x264 video encoding, video conversion)
