You should throw a meter on it and actually check. My recent-ish Ryzen 2600 desktop, 1070 GPU, and 27" monitor use <100W when not doing something like intense gaming. Even then, under intense gaming its often between 300-500W of usage. YMMV, obviously.

If he has older monitors or multiple monitors that can be significant load. My older Dell Ultrasharp 24" monitors are around 80-100 watts each last I measured.
