This has been my problem ever since i want to get a gaming rig. The new high end cards suck up as much as 190 watts of power. If you combine all your system, you can get more than 300 watts of consumption ending up sucking like an Electric Iron.

I'll be hoping for the day that graphics card won't draw too much power and save elec. bills.
