PSU Watt Usage

How can I monitor the watt usage of my psu?

The thing is that I would like to buy a new psu and I would like to know how much watt I'm using at the moment or when I'm doing certain things ...

i don't think there's an easy way to monitor the current watt usage of your psu.
however, you can just sum the watt usage of all components of your pc, the easiest way is to use use some psu wattage calculators ( for example: http://www.jscustompcs.com/power_supply/ )

Maybe something like this? Pretty damn cheap for what it is.
