i'm thinking of buying a new PC from PC Specialist.co.uk
Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 2700X Eight Core CPU (3.7GHz-4.35GHz/20MB CACHE/AM4)
Motherboard: ASUS? PRIME A320M-K: Micro-ATX, AM4, USB 3.0, 6GB/s
Memory: 16GB Corsair VENGEANCE DDR4 2400MHz (2 x 8GB)
Graphics Card: 2GB NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 1050
due to money i can't afford a 1080 but i can always upgrade later but thought maybe someone could point me in the right direction on anything i can change etc

Unless you're interested in playing the newest game right now, you could always go for a cheaper g-card or use the built-in one until you got enough money for a better card.

Depends on the emulation. If it's game emulation, anything newer than N64/Playstation 1 really needs a graphic card

been wanting to upgrade myself, but getting 45-ish on Dark Souls 3 (and hopefully Sekiro too) on mid settings with a Nvidia 950 is enough for me.

One way would be if your monitor has a headphone out you could get a small mixer and mix the channels together in to the headset. Unless it's USB. Other than that I don't know. Although I would love if the next gen consoles have a seperate audio output that's not optical.
I second this. I have my whole computer/production setup going through a mixer.

any recommendations on mixers?
The mixer shouldn't make a difference. If all you need it for is combining the PS4 and PC outputs, any mixer with at least two stereo inputs should do. The Behringer Xenyx 1002 line is pretty cheap. You can probably find one used for $50.
The problem is the PS4 doesn't have analog outputs. If your TV/stereo doesn't have an auxiliary output, that means you'll need something to extract the audio from hdmi or from the optical output and convert to analog outputs. Something like one of these:
https://www.amazon.com/Digital-Coverter-Extreme-Optical-TOSlink/dp/B00BVT4M30/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=toslink+to+rca+audio&qid=1560060390&s=electronics&sr=1-4
https://www.amazon.com/J-Tech-Digital-Premium-Extractor-Converter/dp/B00BIQER0E/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=hdmi+audio+extractor&qid=1560060623&s=electronics&sr=1-3
Finally, do you have the PC aand PS4 plugged into the same wall outlet? If not, you could end up with a 50 Hz buzz (60 Hz in USA) due to a ground loop. If that happens, you'll need a ground loop isolator on one of the signal lines before the mixer.

I'd rather spend those 999 USD on the stand than actually getting a Mac

Id wait for the new AMD processors that are coming next month or something. Also AMD's upcoming GPU's are said to be cheaper then Nvidias, but we'll know next month if it was all hype. But if you're going with Nvidia, also check their 1660 cards. You can compare products there:

The GPU upgrade to 1050 is not worth it, IMO:
https://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-GTX-960-vs-Nvidia-GTX-1050/3165vs3650
I personally use a 7 year old i5 CPU, and it works just fine, most games need more a powerful GPU, rather then CPU.
