If your power supply does not have the wattage for the components you add such as Video cards etc.. I purchased and installed the FSP Group Booster X5 450W Independent/Supplementary SLI Certified CrossFire Ready Active PFC Dedicated Multi.GPU Power supply that fits in your 5.25" drive bay.
I was hitting my power supply max with my pc and did not want to spend the cash for a 1000 watt or over power supply and put this bad boy in. I connected it to my EVGA GeForce 295 CO OP video card and It works great! Now I'm running 1200 watts with no worries. :D
