I had a crypto mining rig with Asrock H110 pro BTC motherboard + Pentium G4500 (2c 2t @ 3.5Ghz) + 8GB ddr4 + 120gb ssd.
When i was stress testing prime95 on this rig before installing any gpu, whole system power consumption was 39-41watts on full load as displayed on kill-a-watt meter. Idle was 23-25watts. PSU was HX1000i 80plus platinum.
If you still want more performance @ lower power consumption, then best cpu for you will be i7 8700T 6c 12t (2.4-4.0Ghz) @ 35w TDP. It scores 1050CB, which is much higher than 820CB of x5650.
