Does anyone with any experience with this know if this will be consuming a ton of power, or quite a reasonable amount?
 
No it shouldn't be a power hungry system, at most under full load it pulls 380 watts i would guess
 
Any single GPU and CPU system does not need more than 550 watts, unless you're using an extraordinary amount of peripherals (20+ fans, 20+ hard drives, etc).
 
A fortune? Nah. That's a pretty low power system by today's standards in the enthusiast world.
 
Good good, its idle 99% of the time too. Just wanted to make sure.

:)
 
most of those things are low wattage, 360-400watts at most. I would plan on getting at least a 600Watt for upgrading purposes for future purchases.
