Don't go buying tools before you need them. Many modern cranks don't need a crank puller. Crank pullers were for very old bikes. And only needed to get the crank off. You haven't even put a crank on if this is a bare frame you bought.

When you do put on a crank, get either a two piece road crank or a 3 piece ISIS or octalink2 crank. And something from this century. You won't need a special tool to remove them.

Cone wrenches you'll only need if you get wheels that have cup and cone bearings. However many wheels today come with sealed bearings that don't need adjusting or regular cleaning and lubing. You'd do yourself a favor, IMO to get one of those type hubs with your wheels..

That Trek 1000 should be able to handle any modern 11 speed group for rim brakes.
