Hello again, now I've come to ask what is the watt consumption of my pc

I5 4460
Gigabyte Z97 Gaming 3

Ahh thank you, if I ever upped my powersully to 750w does it eat more power or only the one being consumed?

Power consumption wise I'd say ~300w. For a PSU I would recommend a good 500-550w unit. The G1 will use about 170w under full load. A system with the 4460(gpu idle) will use ~122w(subtract 10w for the idle gpu).

Oh i see, thank you for the answer I guess i'll stick to 550w

it wont eat more power.. the rating only shows its max capability

it will adjust the output to how much a computer demands
