Now as many of you know, most gaming PC takes a lot of power. But since it takes up power, and I'm getting windows, does windows "power saving" plan reduce the power of the PC? (Which in fact it does because it lowers performance), but can this affect the overall consumption of power, which is converted to the electric bill. Now I don't want my parents to look at the electric bill and see how much it has raised.
Another question, what kind of parts do you recommend for:
1. Low (or, at least, moderate) power consumption
2. Low idle temperatures (because I idle a lot)
3. Pretty good graphics (possible to record at around mid range settings)
Also, the GTX 960 and the Radeon R9 380 are the video cards I'm betting for, the Radeon R9 380 goes like this
Pros: Beasts the GTX 960
Mid Budget
Looks awesome
Cons:
Uses more power than the GTX 960
Little higher temps than the GTX 960
Doesn't work that awesome with CPU-depended games like CS:GO, and also LoL(not sure about LoL, but from what I have researched it's mostly CPU dependent)
Now for the GTX 960:
Pros
Less power consumption than the Radeon R9 380
Looks kewl
low temps during idle
Works well with CPU dependent games (I think)
Cons:
Doesn't provide much of good performance than the Radeon R9 380.
Now this also leads to another question, do Nvidia Video Game Cards work well with CPU dependent games?
Here is my overall build:http://pcpartpicker.com/p/y9DbNG
I'm still changing things here and there. But anyways, thanks for your advice.
