Most Modern PCs may have a decent CPU but lack a good GPU, Hard Drive and/or RAM.
Hence they can be different.
I shall end this here, as it isn't worth going into.

I'm not sure you know what "mutually exclusive" means.
You can have a high-spec pc that is modern. In fact, for a machine to be high-spec, it has to be somewhat modern as that's just how technology works (this doesn't apply to all fields but it does to gaming PCs).
In any case, it doesn't matter how powerful your PC is, it doesn't draw full power at all times (unless you've done something silly), which is exactly the point. Yes, you might have a beefy graphics card and some high-speed RAM but unless you're actually using them in some capacity, their power draw will be somewhat minimal.
Either way, the fact that you're now trying to justify wanting an infinitely fast connection just so you don't have to run your computer for an extra 30 minutes because it's apparently "too powerful" shows just how spurious your logic is. If power or heat is a concern to you, invest in a microserver or similar.
