As I have just recently upgraded my monitor and now also my GPU, I want to make sure I have a big enough power supply. I'm currently using the 850 P2 from EVGA. It's been an amazing PSU, and I've always used a 750 or 850 with more than enough head room. But with a power increase of 35 watts for the new GPU (current GTX 1080 FTW2 uses 215 watts, new RTX 2080 FTW3 Ultra Gaming uses 250 watts), I want to make sure my PSU is powerful enough.
Can anyone tell me how to calculate or measure the total power draw of my entire system and find out how much power I am currently using?

Its just a sum of power of all components. There are online calulators where you just input model names of your components and it calculates it for you.

thank you skekSil. So I figured out that I have roughly a 275 watts of wiggle room between the total output of my PSU and the projected useage of the entire system wih my new card
