How many sata slots do i need? Also what is pci express? Do i need that

PCI Express is for your graphics card. So unless you want to use onboard you'll need PCI express, I don't think you can actually get a board without it but I could be mistaken.

 

You'll need a Z87 or Z97 board socket 1150.

What country are you in? It's hard to give you a link without knowing where you'll be purchasing from.

OK, a few things.  PCIE is what your GPU uses to plug in so you need it.  You need 2 SATA (one per drive)  

Just about any mobo with these chipsets will work
