Intel Extreme Tuning Utility - How to save power?

I'm getting a PNY GTX 750 TI on Monday, and although it's a very low power card I will need to upgrade from my HP 300 watt power supply. Until I can buy a new power supply, I'm looking at turning down my I7-3770 non-k in Intel Extreme Tuning Utility to save enough power to keep my system stable. The I7-3770 is partially unlocked, the only locked slider is the reference clock. Options to save power are the Clock Multipliers, Turbo Boost Power, Turbo Boost Power Short, Turbo Boost Power Max and Core Current limit. I'm thinking of leaving the 1 Active Core Multiplier maxed out and turning down the 2,3 and 4 Active Cores Multipliers. Any recommended configurations of the above to save around 50 watts? (or whatever amount of power you believe that I'll need to save?)

 

Thanks for taking time to answer this rather strange and complex question.
