We measure system drain at the socket via a calibrated meter – the monitor is not included in the final result. We measure results while gaming in Crysis Warhead and the synthetic stress test Furmark and record both results.

When idle, the system consumes around 60 watts of power. When the 4770k is loaded, this rises to 145 watts. When the final ‘combined' test in 3DMark 11 is triggered, this rises to around 270 watts.

Yeah I love that, but I would want something a little more cost effective as a build, must be about £2k of hardware there in that. If the barebones is around £300, I would say £1k would get a great system. Something like a GTX770 and a 4670 would work for me.
