Most come with far more modest power supplies. A typical modern PC (not one equipped with the absolutely fastest CPU and graphics card, but rather one intended for office use) normally draw less than 200W under load. If you take a modern PC optimized for low power consumption (such as a laptop) it will draw less than 50W under load.
