Another consideration is low light performance. The a6000 is better high iso performer than the a77ii. I don't know how important this is to you.
I shouldn't have wrote low light its more to it than that. I should have said high iso performer. Both sport and wildlife you might find yourself needing to bump up the iso to get the desired shutter speeds. I don't know how they compare auto focus wise.The majority of the time it will be used in daylight for sports and wildlife so it's not of huge importance to me.

Having re-read the rest of the thread, why not go back to your original thoughts of the 70D. It is good at high ISO, 7fps (most I have ever used is 6), Good AF system, variable angle screen, WiFi, 1.6x crop so effectively gives more range with your lenses (important for wildlife). So ticks most of your boxes. Excellent range of both Canon and 3rd Party lenses and accessories. Also large 2nd hand market for saving money on lenses.
Why not buy a 2nd hand body to start, that way you will find out what you are missing without losing too much money, you can get a used 60d for about £350 now.
Looking at your choice of lenses I think you may find that 200mm is too short for wildlife. I have 500mm on FF as my maximum and still find some subjects to far to shoot.
The most important thing to remember is this won't be the last camera you buy, as you grow and develop your skills and interests you will find out what you truly need. Go and buy what feels right now and get out and enjoy.
Have you considered the Pentax k30 if in body stabilisation is a big factor? Its also a good high iso performer 100% optical viewfinder and weather sealed. Not bad frame rate either. Plenty of cheaper older lenses around.
I shoot both Canon and Nikon plus Fuji
At the current prices I would be looking at the
DX D7100 body a good general purpose lens ie: Nikon Afs-VR 18-200mm or 18-300mm
Or if you prefer primes
Primes the Afs 28mm f1.8 35mm f1.8 50mm f1.8 & 85mm f1.8 and possibly the 300mm f4. Plus a TC 1.7 or2x
The primes are FX versions so you would be future proof to upgrade at a later date to Full Frame.?
If you want to go FF now my first choice would be a D750 from Panamoz gr8 price and service. And a superb camera from user reviews.
And if you would prefer zooms ?
Then they now have there own Holy Trinity all with VC stableisation and 2.8 max apertures.
15-30mm f 2.8 VC 24-70mm f2.8 VC and 70-200mm f2.8 VC something longer and they have gr8 reviews on there New 150-600mm VC
I'm surprised the 6000 has lower noise than the 77ii - don't they share the same sensor apart from PDAF?
Sony spec looks goods and I know the kit lens is very highly rated in reviews.
So have you got a set budget ?
Because that will be a defining factor to just what kit you will be able to purchase.
That's not to say the A77 ii and kit lens is gonna stop you from taking great pics!
But it would probably be a bit limited with any distant wildlife.
I suggest you find a dealer take some cf/sd cards and try out the cameras you have narrowed it down to.
Check out used gear on Facebook D7100 under 10k shutter actuations boxed complete £400 I'm tempted my self.
The D600 sounds a fair price av u checked in classifieds on here ?
Most Nikon DX lenses state they are crop sensor type as you av stated.
But sigma have some called DC which I believe means they are for Digital Crop other manufactures have there own codes for crop sensor cameras but it's always worth checking before hand.
If you should go FF. then for a Nikon you won't beat the humble 50mm f1.8 for quality at its price. I would go for the AFD version it's a superb piece of glass.
For silly cheap price that works great on a D600 or any Nikon body with a built in drive in the body.
I have the Tamron VC version and I'm more than impressed with it,
I don't think you will be disappointed with it as a general walk about do everything lens.

Shot this with the Tammy VC
I've found a used Nikon D600 with 7700 clicks on Ebay for £799. Does that sound like a good price?
Oh ffs. Now I've got the money to go and get my camera I'm not sure I want to spend it all on a camera lol. It is a lot to spend considering my skill level (novice).
I'm starting to p##s myself off now.
