I'm running a dell optiplex 7060 with an i7 8700, 32gb ram, 1tb ssd, and 14tb hard drive (No GPU). I run proxmox on it with 5 VMs, and a bunch of LXC containers and the power draw is around 18W. It will spike up to around 35W if say I'm doing an SMB transfer to the drive or jellyfin needs to transcode but besides that it pretty much sits at 18W all day.
In general, and barring exceptionally high utility rates, your savings might be small for a more efficient system (say in the tens of dollars) but your upfront costs for the more efficient platform would be relatively higher (in this example perhaps $100 or more premium).
Persoally I've opted for a higher efficiency setup (using Synology NASes), but my application needs are minimal (I'm not running Plex, for example).
Good luck!

if you are running this in a home, then there should be no need to run this much. these machines are very durable and should last a long time doing those kinds of functions.
Edit, i run two machines. my Everyday machine is a refurb Optiplex, very efficient and an older windows 10 box with lots of space for hard drives for my storage machine. but i don't run the storage machine much at all. saves juice that way
Is an adapter for a display port to hdmi and is that the best way forward.

If you're going to be using a single monitor, especially at 1080p, you could basically buy the cheapest DisplayPort to HDMI adapter you can find.
Good luck!

Exactly what I did and also got a display port cable because my monitor has one display port. Thanks
Good luck!
