I know the Radeon 9800 Pro requires a power cable from the power supply as well, and it mentions a 300W minimum. I have a 300w, 2 large hdd, dvd rom, blah blah blah, and it has been getting pretty hot around here lately, but i haven't had any problems with the the psu, even when stressing the card pretty heavily. If i remember right, ATI had a little faq or something, saying that if you screen went black during gaming, or some other issues (possibly random restarts?) that it was most likely the power supply.
If its not too expensive, i would recommend a larger one though. Can never hurt to get one that will be powerful enough for the demands of tomorrows equipment, instead of the minumum for today's.
