Its massive overkill. What does the power supply faceplate say? It
should give you an idea of the power usage. I could guess that it may
use as much as 200 or 250 watts, I think your CPU uses 100 watts itself.

To really squeeze the watts, you can use slower disks, and slower CPUs.
Anything over a single gigahertz is plenty fast enough.

Memory is always good, and uses next to zero power, so more memory is
good within limits, so you are fine there.
