Or should I save up for a even better one?

Depends on what you mean by 'emulating'.

I have never used any Linux.

Try these builds: https://www.reddit.com/r/PCMasterRace/wiki/builds

In all cases "best PC for $$$" will be the one you assemble yourself.

Here is about the lowest I recommend:

AMD A8-7650K 3.3GHz Quad-Core Processor
Asus A78M-A Micro ATX FM2+ Motherboard
G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-2400 Memory
Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Cooler Master K280 ATX Mid Tower Case w/500W Power Supply

Total: $441.00

It's using integrated graphics in the A8-7650K about as good as R7 240 graphics card.

To be around as good as or better than a PS4 gaming console for technical stats you'd later need to add in a R7 260X or R7 370 or GTX 960 or better graphics card. Also a GTX 750 ti or a GTX 950 would put it at (GTX 750 ti) or above (GTX 950) the level of a XB1 gaming console but still below the PS4 in technical stats as the PS4 has stronger graphics than the XB1 technically.

What do you want to play on it?

save up $600+ for a gaming pc

at $400 you can buy an office pc like rove suggested, but it will be crap for gaming

if you want something with potential, get an i3 office pc and add a gtx750ti
