8250 power supply options

I have an 8250 that I've added a few items to & although I am not aware of any problems, it is suggested I add a more powerful power supply.  Does a second hard drive & ATI video card really require a new power supply?  I have benchmarked things & it doesn't seem I'm running out of power, but not sure I would know.  I may overclock the video card a bit & just want to make sure I'm ok.

What problems can you encounter if your power supply is too low?

I'm running 2 Hard Drives, an ATI Video card (that requires power), and a DVD Burner all of the standard 8250 power supply -- no issues at all.

Same here, two hard drives, 9700 Pro, all the eye candy turned on. No problems what-so-ever.

Thanks a bunch.  Similar set-ups & I had just read enough to think I might have a potential problem.  I really appreciate it.
