EVGA GeForce GTX 660 SUPERCLOCKED
Any GPU from GTX 950 or R9 370 upwards runs Dolphin perfectly at 4xIR. You could even use integrated graphics if you were fine with native resolution. Dolphin is not demanding on the GPU. Also, I don't know where the hell you found that list of compatible cards, but it should be made clear that any graphics card will work. That motherboard has a PCI-e port, so it will support PCI-e graphics cards. In other words, every consumer GPU at the moment.

Improve on what exactly? On your current setup? Yes, by a ton. On a GTX 980 Ti? No, the 980 Ti is miles ahead.
It's becoming more and more unclear to me what your plan for the system is and it's a bit hard to help you. There are a couple of questions that should clarify things a bit.
1. Do you want to have the absolute best performance and pay a premium for it, or would you rather go with a more sensible (but still powerful) option that will save you hundreds of dollars?
2. Do you play a lot of pc games? The only reason to buy a crazy expensive graphics card is for pc gaming, and if you only plan on using Dolphin and other emulators, a cheaper card would be a better choice.
3. What resolution do you use? The flagship products (GTX 980 Ti and Fury X) are meant for 1440p and 4K gaming. If you use a standard 1080p 60hz monitor, something like a GTX 970 is guaranteed to max out games at 60fps.
1. The absolute best performance so I can record while I game with these kind of emulators with Open Broadcaster Software.
2. Sometimes, but not all the time. Errier, I assumed the NVidia GTX TITAN would work perfect for the emulator and thought it was more than what I had needed, and yes to the emulators. Is the TITAN for PC gaming ONLY?
3. My resolution is a 1920x1080 screen.
I found these in my motherboard compatibility list. I sent this link last night and you might have not checked it out.http://us.msi.com/product/motherboard/Z170A-XPOWER-GAMING-TITANIUM-EDITION.html#hero-overview
