Anyway to calculate PC power consumption WITHOUT watt meter?

Ok, so I recently inherited my first gaming pc. It’s nothing too special but it’s like your first car, since it’s my first it the greatest thing ever.
However, I live in Mexico and the way that the electricity bills work here is such that it is tiered. It is really cheap until you hit a certain KWh / month and the price per KWh literally quadruples (makes the price of electricity equal to around that of Hawaii).
So, point is, before I use this thing too much, I want to know if there is a way to determine how much power the heavy draw items such as the GPU and the CPU are going to draw.
Can I see how much my components are using in real time through an app for the computer?
I am fully aware that I can get a water meter (such as a Killawatt) and plug that in between the wall and my pc, however they are about 20-25 bucks and mostly I don’t want to wait for a package to arrive from amazon.
I am not looking for exact numbers but a general estimate.
My components are as follows:
GeForce GTX 1080 Ryzen 5 2600 Corsair CX600M 600w PSU 2 case fans and one cpu cooler fan Gigabyte B450M DS3H 16gb of Corsair Vengence DDR4 Ram
Thanks in advance for your help guys and gals!
