If it should be true that such much Ampere are needed for gaming computers, http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20130719093253AACWgo6 , then I will be more salty than I'm already regarding to unfair EU regulations. I'm not allowed to own a low Watt lightbulb with tungsten filament to have good light and gamers are allowed to have insane high current consumption. How much is a kWh in your part of the world? Even if it should be needed for gaming and assumed you don't care about the environment, isn't such a consumption not too expensive? The mean in Germany in 2012 was around 0.26 €/kWh.
