That should help pay off the investment, isn't that about £20-£25 saved per month?

Quick update, I put together a system with the following;

AMD Ryzen 5 2600 CPU with Wraith Stealth Cooler
Gigabyte b450 ds3h motherboard
Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB RAM
Be Quiet! Pure Power 11 400w power supply
Crucial MX500 500GB SSD
Asus Geforce GT 710 (it's a server, the graphics card just needed to be passive to reduce noice)

Good news is, the system idles at around 40w, a massive reduction on the 270w the old system was idling at.

Performance wise, it kills the old system too.

What was the total cost?

Yep, I'll sell the old machine, and with that and the monthly saving, I'll break even in about 2 year.

Under 600 IIRC
