I come from the uk and i am considering buying every thing from overclockers.co.uk, sadly alot of the advice i have had over there is from people who own a 1kw psu etc although good advice the guys here just seem to be a little more in line with what i want

I am in the martket for something which will be switched on 24/7 but with little load most of the time.
wattage, sound and heat are the main factors in what i want to buy, but there is so much choice i dont know what to do.
After about 2 weeks of reading all i can figure out is that the intel E5200 is the CPU for me!
Uses would include general webmaster realted things, alot of multitasking through low resource usage apps putty firefox etc. But it needs to be able to playback 1080p fine, and perhaps the odd game of something on low settings.
1. Does motherboard change the overall used wattage much?
Can you suggest a "decent" one?
2. RAM, again does this change wattage much?
Can you suggest anything "decent"?
3. What kind of graphics card is considered "the best deal" for powerusage + price + the odd game off something every now and then (eg not a gamer)
4. What are my real psu options?
5. I would like small case but does this go with being cool and silent?
Can that cpu be run fanless in a small case?
6. I think i will go for a SSD but again i am at a loss as to which
In an ideal world this thing would be small, silent and not pump out much heat on idle!
Buget, lets say upto £450 but does not mean i want to spend all that. Any input welcome really, i am going insane reading. You would think it would be easy to spend my money
