1) Which temperature do you want to check? Since you mentioned your cpu, I'll suggest Realtemp to monitor cpu temps.

2) There are websites that can estimate the power consumption, but for something more accurate, you'd need something like this: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ [...] ghorror-20 It doesn't have to be that exact one, but that's the type of tool you'll need.

Here's a site if you just want a general idea: http://extreme.outervision.com/psucalculatorlite.jsp
