How much electricity would a 500w Gaming PC consume?

Average electric bill is 50GBP P/M.

PC usage will be about 12 hours P/D.

No one can even remotely guess...

All depends on your energy rates and how long the PC is on for...

Just because a PC has a 500W PSU doesn't mean it's constantly at 500W...

As Craigyy said, It all depends on what you are doing. If you are running a high consumption game then it will use more

Depending on the hardware and PSU efficiency it will pull 300 - 450 watts max for a high end rig with a single card when under a gaming load. Idle will be a lot less.
