Ok this has gotten my mind in a tight jam, I want to know if i ran 2 8800 Gtx's SLI on a 30 inch Dell Wfp HC along with a intel core 2 duo E6850 will increase my eletric bill by a LOT because my rent is pretty high.

if anyone has basically this type of rig or higher can you shed some light on how high your Electric bill comes too??

I'm just curious if my electricity bill will be high because i know to run this it requires a lot of power and i have a 1 KW PSU atm but will my eletricity bill be high if im on my computer for like 5 hours a day ( example )

I don't think your electricity bill will sky rocket. It is a considerable amount of electricity but it isn't on for 24 hours a day.

If your PSU has high efficiency(over 80%) the bill will be low

Use a PSU calculator (Google!) to find out how much power your system would take. THen you can convert this into the cost via your electricity bill. Unless its at constant full load you shouldn't see too much of an increase in bills...
