I'm wondering what my electricity bill would be with the following system:
I5 4670k
4x DDR3 Memory
R9 280x
Z87 Mobo
5 Case Fans
1 SSD, 1 HDD, 1 Disk Drive
750W Gold Rated PSU
(all stock)
How much wattage would I expect to pull while gaming or using in a stress test? If I estimate 480w, and just say the computer is doing this for 14hrs a day for a year (example), this would mean 480w*(14*365 hrs) = 2453 kwh per year.
If the price of electricity is $0.24 per kwh, that would be $560 per year just for the PC?
Am I missing something here as that does seem a bit high. How much would a PC cost idle? My old PC was a HP with a Intel Core 2 Duo stock processor with integrated graphics, how many watts did that pull in comparion? Is the cost going to be much higher?
