I have a Crucial M550 512GB. Way more than enough. Samsung EVO's are just as good. I would definitely stick with Crucial or Samsung.

1. +1 for the 35mm. I believe it's more versatile, especially if you're going to be indoors. But like others have said, play around with the kit you have right now; since it's an 18-55 it'll cover both the 35 and 50 focal lengths. Maybe one week just keep it at 35mm and just shoot like that. Then the next week keep it at 50mm. See which one you enjoyed shooting with more and then that will help you decide which lens to go with.
2. Personally, I'm a slob when it comes to file storage but I generally just edit with Lightroom and export to an external HD. Every once in a while I'll upload to flickr as well.
3. I don't believe uploading to a computer should affect quality in any way, but I'm no expert.
I'm a D3200 shooter as well. My advice to you is to just play with the camera. You can read up on the Exposure Triangle all you want but I don't believe that can take the place of experience. Just go out and shoot. You'll get the hang of the manual settings, just give it some time.

that is a great analogy! also it may help to use the different modes to make the learning curve a little easier; aperture priority for depth of field & shutter priority for when you want to focus on controlling movement. and don't be afraid to use auto or program...

finally gave in and copped the 24-70mm f/2.8G lens 
joint is huge. May have to use the battery grip whenever I shoot with it

You mean specifically for editing? I doubt it. All you really need is the editing programs, good RAM and a large harddrive. Any computer company can do that for the most part. But with those 5Ds coming out, I'd imagine you would need like 32GB of RAM and least to process those without Photoshop crashing.

What's a good size of RAM,HD to have but not too expensive

My iMac had 4GB but I upgradeed it to 16GB and it runs great. No issues with running multiple photos from my 5D, running iPhoto is fine and my Photoshop hardly crashes. For just photos, I would say no less than 500GB for storage. I mean that is well over enough but HD are easy to come by now a days. I have TB with tons of music and still manage to have about 200GB left. I got two externals though where all my bootleg movies are.
Yeah RAM is super important I upgraded to 8GB last year and will go to 16GB as soon as this Amazon order gets in. I just bought a Samsung 850 pro SSD for my 2011 Macbook Pro and my boot time is crazy. If you plan on doing video then Ram and graphics cards are the items you want to keep in mind. I have a bunch of externals for backups for my backups and I purchased an enclosure for the HDD that I took out of my MacBook and use it as an external HD as well.

Not specifically designed for per se, but if I had the money and HAD to choose a laptop and only a laptop. It would be a 15" or 17" Retina MacBook Pro.
Otherwise I'd go with a 13" Retina and high quality monitor.

How do you measure RAM from GB?

Just upload the original sized photo (edited or unedited). iPhones take high resolution photos nowadays. It ain't 8 megapixels for nothing!
