    Alright, so I have an i54460 and a GTX 960 2GB along with a 500 watt power supply. Would this use much electricity if it's just on like literally doing nothing with some basic things open like TS and Steam. How much watts would it be using or any rough estimation?

    Chauffe, Marcel, chauffe!


    A rough guess is that your PC uses about 100W when idle

    But to be sure, buy one of those cheap power meters online or whenever they come up in Aldi / Lidl for €9.99

    You can get a rough idea using THIS too
