Here's the thing, I could give you a number of possible combinations in terms of MB/PS. The big issue of course is whether you truly want to go with SLI/Crossfire or a single card.
The reason is that there are some boards that won't do SLI/Crossfire, and some that will only do AMD chipsets. So that's a harder issue. Also, other than certain brands, most 750-1000w PS's will be fine.
As for the data issues, I have almost 150GB worth of installed applications on my computer, including games. I have about 500gb worth of data... I would much rather lose my OS drive than any data... a few seconds of performance hit vs. data loss is why I'd choose a few seconds slower over data loss...
