Solution
A little more than 300W per hour, a bit more if you include the monitor and/or you have a UPS. What model/make is your PSU? It's efficiency makes a small difference.

I assume that you game, and the number is for an hour's intense gaming. On and idling is a lot less.

Its cheap to buy a power monitor plug and will tell you kwh. You'll be looking at 320-350 pulled from wall. So 3 hours gaming will be 1 kwh....multiply that by your energy company £/kwh.

I always wonder why people are so bothered. Spend 1200£ in a pc and pennies an hour to run!
