Switched to a laptop and still have my old desktop lying around with all my media in it (curently accessing the media in the external hdd I used for backup and now the PC is the backup), been thinking of turning it into a NAS (for seeding torrents and making backups) but I'm kinda concerned about the GPU drawing too much power and adding to my bill (I know it's just a few bucks per month but still, I don't wanna be wasteful).

Should I unplug the GPU? It won't be plugged into a monitor or running any GUI programs, but it just being there would still draw power, right?

Edit: It's a gtx 1650, and my CPU has a integrated gpu
