Monitor has a separate power delivery. Either external power brick or internal monitor psu.
Changing monitor doesn't cause a significant change in power consumption of your pc (part not including monitor). Probably not even measurable.

The PSU has nothing to do with the monitor but

Aigo 550w bronze

is a bad PSU in the first place. Groupregulated, bad protections, fake 80 Plus logo (because the unit is unfindable at clearesult.com)

As mentioned the monitor itself will not affect this but you are pretty much wasting your money since the 2060 is going to struggle to get much over 90 fps in most games at 1080 and even less if you mean 1440. You have to check the game you actually play.

Now if you are also going to upgrade your GPU so you can actually use a 165mhz monitor then you will likely have to increase the power supply to run the new gpu.
