There isn't much software and its really inaccurate, you would need to buy a voltage meter and plug in the computer to it and the other end into a power plug.

If you have a corsair PSU you could use corsair link, but as Vandorlot already said that isn't as accurate. 

I would also recoomend a wattage meter for your outlet. This is one I found from a quick amazon search https://www.amazon.com/P3-P4400-Electricity-Usage-Monitor/dp/B00009MDBU/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1522001023&sr=8-2&keywords=outlet+wattage+meter

Does anyone know a power benchmark I can do while playing games to see how much power my computers uses during games for free

HWInfo64 can get kind of close depending on the hardware in your system, but no software is gonna be accurate. When I plugged my Kill-A-Watt into the wall and plugged my PC Into it, I noticed that it would vary between the two as much as 30W at a time.

My account is almost entirely dormant. Hope you all are having a grand time. Many years of fun were had here.

CPU+SOC wattage.

 

Doesn't show wattage for your GPU or any other components.
