It does not have 125watt power draw and will work in your system 122watts total draw on the system http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/radeon-r7-240-and-250,review-32874-9.html

what does 122watts total draw mean?

All the system not only the GPU under load.

Pretty sure they used an overclocked 95watt CPU in the test.
