If my computer uses 570w-600w how many watts does it use roughly an hour? KWH?

[PedramCarter]

Not sure exactly how it works but I have 650w PSU and my pc uses about 590w or something like that at least that's what I was told by some guys on here that calculated for me.
I think kwh costs 0.10p

I very much doubt your PC is pulling 590w continuously. Without a very large setup, you aren't going to pull anywhere near 590w. That 590 is theoretical max. Odds are pretty high under a large load your PC is pulling 200-300 watts.

KWH = kilowatts per hour
If your system uses ~600w at full load, and it is running 24/7 at 100% load, you will pay ~4.3 quid per month to run it.
(based on your 0.10p per kwh)

However, since it is NOT running 100% load 24/7, your monthly cost will be less than that.

Here are my 3570K overclocked results.

3570K
GTX 570HD
16 GB Ram

I measured power draw from the wall. It was a 80 Plus Gold power supply, but remember at small loads the power supply is less efficent, so without looking up the Antec 850 HCP, I'll just pull a number off the top of my head, and say it was 80% efficent at that 317 watt load. This means the PC was only drawing like 250 watts during 3D Mark tests (the highest draw from my measurements).

I don't even know how the hell it works the system I have tracks how much kwh I'm using it goes up by few per hour I think the actual kwh is £13.40 so how much will it cost to run it on a full month that way? based on my new kwh price

No, your kwh cost is not £13.40.
Looking around, I see prices between 9p and 17p per kwh. (I don't live in UK)

on the meter it says cost "£13.40" what could that mean do you think I know it prob isn't 13.40 but hmmm what do you think

£10 a week, but I've recently started using electricity for heating also which I use about £2 a day.

590 volts for 24 hours a day, 30 days a month with a price of 10p per watt gives a total cost of about £42.49
This is cheap for the UK nowadays but for mining its pretty costly. new technology for it is coming soon so save up then invest in that.

At full load, your PC is about the equivalent of 3-4 100w incandescent light bulbs, or 10 CFL bulbs.
At idle, maybe 1 or 2 CFL bulbs.
