So, i just want to upgrade my PC, and having a good machine for decent emulation is one of the reasons i'd like to upgrade. But what do i actually need mostly? Much RAM, a good GPU, or a CPU? If i need a top-tier CPU, which spec in priority? Number of cores, Processor frequensy, CPU-techologies? And what about AMD/Intel specific CPU/GPU? does RPCS3 work good on both brands, or there're some issues?
Or there're no specific requirements, and i have to upgrade just anything?

CPU. At the very minimum, a quad/hexa core from Haswell (4th gen) or up. But note that RPCS3 is probably the only emulator that multithreads this much. Other emulators tend to rely on single core performance mostly.
GPU either NVIDIA or AMD. No Intel, as their iGPUs and drivers are bad.
For RAM, 8GB or up.
Desktop: Ryzen 7 5800X, Radeon RX 6800 XT, 2x8G 3600MHz, Manjaro Linux
Laptop: Intel i7 6700HQ, Intel HD 530, 2x8G 2133MHz, Manjaro Linux
Old Desktop: FX-8350, R9 280X, 2x4G 1600MHz, Manjaro Linux

For decent results i had recommend at least Ryzen 5 or a haswell i7.
RX 460
8GB RAM
And now that AMD Threadripper is coming,
It's 16 cores would work best for RPCS3,
And it has a decent single core performance too.
Very cheap for the 16 cores,1000$ price tag.
