Oh ok I didn't realize that you still wanted to shoot photos. In that case I would honestly ditch nikon and go to sony. Get a sony a6000 with a commlite nikon to sony adapter and use your nikon lenses on that
 
I didn't quite understand what your current equipment response. Do you already have lenses or are you going to get them. If you don't already have lenses I would actually look at Pentax their dslr are fantastic. The k3 II is in your price range, has in body stabilization, does 4k, and has a huge amount of legacy glass available for use. Pentax cameras are also ridiculously durable. Pentax is such an underrated camera manufacturer I think a lot of their stuff is better than canon or nikon and that's saying something
 
I would go for an a6300 or the original A7. Sony mirrorless is taking over the world and for good reason.

did a quick google search, the K3 ii does not shoot 4k, and correct me if I'm wrong but Pentax doesn't even have a camera out that does 1080 60p

not sure why it's funny someone doesn't know some uncommon knowledge? OP is looking for a camera for both photo and video and in today's market Pentax is pretty irrelevant for that

I literally said "updating to a new nikon" just wanted some opinions and people who have them or have used them to let me know what to get the best bang with my limited buck
 
a used d7000 would work quite well for you I think. I've been using one for 4 years almost every day. It's a work horse and the video is good especially using manual nikkor lenses which you can buy very cheap. It is weather sealed and has a metal frame so its fairly durable, and the controls are intuitive.
