ccording to 80+ it will not necessarily be more efficient than a less highly rated 300W model. To summarize: For the use case, one might want to add the CPU's TDP "another time", i.e. 231.8W + 125W = 356W. Then choose either the next fitting PSU size (400W) or go slightly larger for extra safety e.g. 450W, 500W or even 550W would all be sensible choices.
