According to reviews and info i got online and at power consumption calculator for my system i got 820Watt PSU, however when measured with P3 Kill A Watt Electricity Load Meter and Monitor it shows max power used by my computer to be ~130-180 Watt max under any load from game or benchmark i have tried. Meter is correct i have tested on number of appliances in my home and it shows precise power consumption.
Another thing between idle load to full load on CPU and VIDEO power consumption does not change a bit.

What's the deal here are we being deceived by evil marketers that we need so much power when in reality i could be good with cheap 300W PSU.
