Ahh but slight prob with that calculator is that its used for sizing what PSU to get. So its using max values for everything which won't be the case in normal use.
The values i quoted are real time values as measured by my UPS and in effect are nearly half what any PSU calculator gives.

Yup i knw but thats the best u can get for a calculation. U can never calculate exact power consumption unless u sit with a meter next to ur PC or ofcourse u have a good UPS which gives readings. Readings would vary depending what device in ur comp is using. eg high end video card in GPU intensive game wld be running full blast cosuming max power etc
