If you dont want to run multi gpu setup in the future then you can get asrock z87 extreme 3 or extreme 4. And for that you could upgrade to a 280x or GTX 770. I'd say Asus r9 280x DC2

Only one drive is needed. For faster boot up you can go with a ssd and regular hard drive. SSDs are expensive so you just store the os on them and use another drive for a primary storage device.

If your only getting one u should probably get a hard drive for the storage as well. If u get an ssd it will cost the same as a 1 or 2 tb hard drive but t would only be like 120 gb which isn't enough for everything

go with the msi or gigabyte version of the r9 280x it is oc and it is better than the gtx 770 whitch is 100$ more
apart from that maybe go with the amd fx 8350 oc version it has 8 core whitch is pretty much futur proof and is being used more and more
