When building or upgrading a PC, most discussions focus on performance, FPS, and thermals, but power consumption is often overlooked.
Modern CPUs and GPUs can draw a significant amount of power during long gaming or productivity sessions, which directly impacts electricity usage over time. Tracking daily usage helps users understand how different components affect overall energy consumption, especially for people who use their systems for extended hours.
Being aware of electricity usage can also help in choosing more efficient hardware and managing monthly costs better. I personally started paying more attention to usage patterns after realizing how much continuous PC uptime can add up.
