I need to know how to determine my system total power useage in watts. I'm trying to decide on a battery backup for it.
(Lenovo H50-55 with some changes/upgrades)
nVidia geforce gtx 750 t = 180W
AMD A10-7800 = 65W
Samsung 860 SSD 500GB = ?
Seagate 2TB HDD = ?
Optical drive = ?
1 small case fan besides the CPU fan
I'm sorry I don't know if this is enough information. Can anybody guess at my need?

Wow, nice answer! Adding in the monitor that I forgot, it would still be less than 200W. So the max load on the BBU would be between 224 and 280. Much lower than I thought. Now, I guess the thing I have to do is figure how long my system should run when the power goes out. Thanks!
