250 W? My graphics card at home has a 250 W supply dedicated to it.. Having said that, it is a GeForce 8800 and can quite easily consume 120W on it's own.

TBH, although mine's an extreme example (I bought the seperate power supply because my GFX card wasn't working on the machine's power supply, and this supply was cheaper), I wouldn't use less than a 450W power supply with a Geforce 6 or 7 series GFX card.
