Also remember that switchmode (PC, TV etc) power supplies are way more efficient than linear (big heavy iron core) power supplies, but they will still be lucky to reach aound 80% efficiency.
This means that whatever power level you work out for your PC will also need at least 20% more from the power outlet to maintain.
