Minimum setup I can think of is some $0:

EDITOR

activestate.com/komodo-edit

SFTP

use Linux (simply drag and drop from your desktop); otherwise:

FileZilla

MySQL + APACHE

use Linux (simply install from a repo); otherwise:

mariadb.org*
apache.org

* mariadb is a drop-in replacement for mysql; but you can (of course) still use mysql if you’d like.

PREPROCESSING

Many free options to choose from… grunt, sass, etc., or roll your own.
…I don’t have strong opinions on this.

PHOTOSHOP (ish)

inkscape.org
gimp.org

GIT

git-scm.com

Everything listed is cross-platform (Linux, Mac, Win) and open source.
