You could use tasksel or install one of the desktop meta packages. The mate-desktop-environment package for example.
Those packages will also install a set of common apps (calculator, image viewers).
Gnome is more resource-hungry. KDE is a little lighter now, then would come Xfce. Not sure how the other DEs fit in the ranking anymore. Last time I checked LXQt worked great, but the Stable repos has a somewhat older version for the moment.
Gutting the Gnome bits, as mentioned, will take a little time. Also, if the display manager or login manager changes you might need to make some minor config changes.
That part is easy, though. The annoying part is then getting rid of Gnome if you decide to keep Mate or Cinnamon or whatever.
PS. You should update the title of your first post with a description of what you need help with.
