FINALLY getting a new power supply!

[johnb35]

Good news. As of now I have 24 hours of uptime on my new supply.

Also is there any software I can download that will allow me to monitor my PSU, more specifically, how many watts I'm actually consuming?

Again, please start editing your posts instead of creating new ones. Thanks.

HWMonitor maybe.

If you want to measure real-time consumption you can get devices that plug into your sockets in the wall to measure that. That's probably the most accurate way. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...60&cm_re=wattage_meter-_-12-119-560-_-Product if that measures wattage then that's what you want.

Would something like a Kill-a-watt outlet monitor work because I have one somewhere...

If you have one then try it and see if it does what you want.

If it displays the real-time or even average wattage that the PC is pulling, then yes.
