You will be fine with a single AMD card in that motherboard.

yes, they will all work together. its more about whether the slot is pci-e(all modern GPUs are) or not than which brand the gpu is(otherwise nvidia GPUs also won't work).

Doesn't matter if its an Intel or AMD CPU, both AMD and NVIDIA GPUs will work. There isn't any "this brand cant work with this brand" thing.

I'd recommend getting an RX 480 since it's the successor to the 380. It has a lot better performance and better efficiency.

 

Of course most GPUs will work with your motherboard since it has a PCI-E x16 slot. 

Judge a product on its own merits AND the company that made it.

I would suggest OP learn how PC work first, with a question like this it's obvious he has no clue.
