Graphics card. For certain.

Depending on your graphics card, it can draw up to 250watts, or even more if it's overclocked.

After that, processor will take up to around 125-140, in a high end system

What is the percent of your computer's power that the screen uses?

This depends on the screen type, the screen size, and also the computer's power. For example; a low power computer may use 200watts, where a high power gaming setup might use 800watts. A screen could use as little as 5watts, if it is a small LCD screen, while a big CRT monitor might use 200watts.
