If my pc runs on 850 watts, how much (£) will it cost per hour?

I'd doubt anyone can answer with any veracity because the question is a bit more complex. How you use the PC will affect how much power it draws (it won't draw MAXIMUM power all of the time for example).
Lots of guesstimates aside (there's a reddit thread you can find about this specific question (quick google
) if you guess a 850W PSU at max load draws ~1000W at from the wall (maybe its not 100% efficient) it'll draw 1Kw so over an hour would cost 20.25p to run (given the above pic...). Obviously the variation on that theme is important (so if you only draw ~500W for the hour it would be half that)
Its a little more complex a question unfortunately.

10 pound for the hour??, that's a fortuneI'd doubt anyone can answer with any veracity because the question is a bit more complex. How you use the PC will affect how much power it draws (it won't draw MAXIMUM power all of the time for example).

no not £10 for the hour, if its using 1000W over the hour (it wont get anywhere close) 1000W = 1 kw IT WOULD COST 20.25P

No PC would run at 850w though, even if you had a 1200w PSU.
20.25 pence?
Anyways. the main point here (from steaky's original message) is that is really difficult to give an accurate costing due to the fact the PSU does not always pull everything.
But we can say its unlikely to cost more than 20p an hour at that rate show in the pic (if you don't have a fixed rate elec plan though it's liable to rise)

(if you don't have a fixed rate elec plan though it's liable to rise)Yes per hour - as explained by steaky in his response
Thank you all for helping me I thought it was taking 10pound per hour I was about to commit suicide😂Anyways. the main point here (from steaky's original message) is that is really difficult to give an accurate costing due to the fact the PSU does not always pull everything.

Yes per hour
