During a power cut
The Core i7-8700K's base power (TDP) is 95 W, the only power figure Intel publishes for it; it draws more under load. At 220 V, through a power supply with the lowest 80 PLUS badge[3], that comes to at least 116 W from the wall: at least 0.59 A on top of what the rest of the computer draws. From a 12 V battery through an inverter, it takes at least 11.4 A.
Not counted here: the rest of the computer (motherboard, RAM, storage, fans) and the screen, which have no official figure. Add what you know of them under "Other devices".
