Cooling...stock should be fine

450w will be fine, that graphics card won't run overly powerful and neither should the CPU

and while i can't say for sure...it should support the TV as long as its got the proper connections

Quiet PC's are overrated anyway, what's a PC if you can't hear it...

RE: Is this ok and what else should I get?
I'm pretty sure they're smaller in size, and a lot of cases don't support them..
Also, have you bought from that site before? I looked on there when building mine, looked fishy, and anyway, £16 for a case AND PSU sounds a little too good to be true. My case alone was cheap, and that was about £18.

I would recommend hugely that you use http://www.ebuyer.com. Amazing site, great service, great prices. Check it out.
