  Hi ya, i was wondering if anyone of y'all knows of a good(& free) software that calculates the amount of wattage a system uses.
  I'm upgrading a GPU into my other comp soon and it only comes with a 300Watts PSU...XD
  The GPU i'm buying needs about 110++Watts of power and i'm afraid that there isnt enough... Any good experiences/estimates is welcomed also... Thx

  But don't just go for the numbers. Consider the brand of the PSU that you are buying as well. Something like OCZ 450W would probably be better (and safer) than some "soCute 567W".
  
  If you currently have a tight budget, you can always try your luck at the marketplaces.
