Choosing a graphics card

My PC has died and I need to get all new hardware.  Chosen the mobo+processor+memory, but I'm struggling when it comes to the graphics card.

There appear to be hundreds out there, and I'm not sure how to choose.  Will not be used as a gaming machine (for now, I will upgrade later if I need to)

My budget is up to £60, I'd prefer a silent one (PC lives behind the TV and will be used to stream videos to the TV, so want as little background noise as possible)

Needs to have HDMI and D-sub, DVI is a bonus.  Mobo has 2 x PCIe 2.0 x16 slots and 1 @ x4 speed.

Is it worth trying to match the brand to the mobo?
Nvidia? Radeon? GeForce?

Any advice you can give will be appreciated.

This site has some Fanless Gfx Cards.

I have bought stuff from this company before, but not for a few years, didn't have any issues.
