iirc you can check how much watts your CPU/GPU use with afterburner. This will most likely not be 100% correct

The Beast: CPU: i7 4790K GPU: EVGA 1080 SC Cooling: Dual NZXT Kraken x61 RAM: HyperX Fury 1866MHz Storage: SSD: 500GB Samsung EVO 840 + HDD: 1TB WD MOBO: Asus Z97 - a PSU: RM850x Case: H440 green-black Setup: Link PCPP: Link Evolution: Link 

Gear: PS4 with custom skin // Astro A50 Xbox edition to fit colour scheme // Oppo PM-3 Planar Magnetic Closed Back Headphones // OnePlus One 64GB sandstone

Other stuffs: Acer aspire 128GB SSD 10GB RAM // MacBook Pro 13" 500GB SSD 16GB RAM // A 2009 iMac 21"

I know roughly what it should be pulling from the wall, it would just be since to know a exact figure (with overclocks and that)

I think thats pretty accurate and you can modify clocks aswell

If you can't find any software that works, try a physical power meter.

Also they are more accurate.
