Solution
You aren't going to see much of a difference in power consumption, maybe a dollar a year, maybe. You are better off getting the cheaper of the two PSUs if you are looking to save money, 80+ ratings are meant more for offices which pay for the power twice since the HVAC has to deal with the extra heat.
