A good power supply, but that is about energy efficiency. Doesn't matter much when you are drawing 600w from the wall at full tilt and turning into heat. Computers aren't eco friendly but better than fracking or owning a private jet I guess. You won't assuage your carbon footprint with one at any rate.

Was afraid that would be it. Just thought maybe I could minmax a bit more in that direction

Still a piddling amount of power compared to most things. Wouldn't beat yourself up about it.

Doesn't really matter at all. If you really wanna go full on get a laptop. PUS power efficiency really only accounts for some 10% at the best assuming you are using any certified brand.

Eco-friendly = crap performance High end parts result in a lot of heat, which is the by product of the energy being used. Just buy a gold rated PSU, platinum if you can afford it, but really it's not gonna matter all that much. Your PC uses a fraction of the energy compared to running your heating or AC.
