Not like it actually consumes 800W, it's just *capable* of getting near
there in a really high load scenario...

a modern gaming desktop is typically about 75W thermal for the CPU, up to
150W thermal for the GPU (a $450 card whether nvidia or AMD), plus misc
30-45W other stuff.  For example:

that's with either a single or a dual GPU of several different types, as
measured by a kill-a-watt
