Is it an Upgrade?

About a year ago I started building my current computer. I picked an Antec True Power 650 W at the time because it went on sale frequently.

Now, I have gotten into folding, and I run my computer 24/7 overclocked and all. I am wondering if I would get any upgrade in efficiency by purchasing and installing an Antec Earthwatts 380?

When I put the computer together I had higher hopes for things like running in SLI and the like, but have found myself less interested in that recently.

What I am asking really is whether or not I would get any energy savings from this? Before it ran out of stock it was $30 with free shipping. Newegg kinda tends to keep the same sales in circulation though, so I can wait for it to come back around.

 
You would not save enough energy to pay for that PSU before the other one died. Totally not worth it unless you were in the market for a PSU in the first place.
