Product: Omen 800-139nx
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

So, I have the HP Omen 880-139nx that is supplied with 500w power supply. I always worry as I see that lots of gaming PCs have less potential and power supply. The PC runs good but I been wondering if I wanted to use a second monitor should I upgrade the power supply? And do monitors consume power form the PC power supply?

It should not be necessary to upgrade the PC's power supply if you add a second monitor. The monitor is connected to AC power.
