Yeah, the only way to know for sure is by using something like the KillAWatt. It will tell you how much power your computer is drawing and some other stuff.

 

I got one a few weeks ago and its pretty neat. I always thought my computer (i5 760, 5770 + 5750, 3 hdd's, 7 fans and other stuff) drew 400-500 watts, but instead idles around 120watts and maxes around 430w under full load.
