Hello, i was just wondering if there a software that could active tell me how much power i'm using, i think there was a intel one for laptop(can't remember exactly), or can you guys estimate my power usage on idle and 100% load?

 

GTX 260 c216, E8400, 2x2GB patriot ram, TX 650 psu, Ep45-ud3l mobo, WD 640GB C.Black, sony dvd burner Antec 900, Acer H233H monitor

I don't believe there is any software that can monitor power usage for a PC because it would need to interface with your PSU and have some sort of circuit to do this. I'd suggest a Kill-a-watt meter. They are $20
