Okay...to put this simply, I'm wanting to build an entertainment computer similar to the Alienware Alpha.
I have an i3 processor, a gtx 560 ti (I have two with the sli, but I'm only wanting to use one), and 6 gb of ddr3 ram I want to use in this machine.
I'm wanting to design this machine to be on frequently, so low power consumption is a major focus I want for this. I'm also wanting to use a small form factor for it to get it as compact as possible. I'm planning on using a SSD to improve the operating speed and lower power consumption and a 1TB HDD for game/movie storage. I'm also wanting to use a bluray drive, but I can settle for an external for the needs of the machine. So the parts I'm looking for recommendations on are:

Case (The more compact the better)
Motherboard
Cooling system (fan or liquid, looking for most efficient with the build)
PSU (I'm not sure how to balance it out)
