Given that you already own the Sigma 170-500mm and a Tamron AF 28-75mm f/2.8, replacing these for another system would likely screw your budget before you've even considered a decent body to put them on.
A K-70, if you can still find one, will suit your needs nicely.
The K-70 replacement, the KF, will be more expensive but still well within budget.
Even a K-3iii should be just about manageable, body only, seeing as you already have the lenses.
So … personal opinion … stick with Pentax
Remember, even if your K-50 is "dying", it's not irrepairable and you can still use it in manual mode as it is, with the appropriate lenses
