      not really. harddrives and video cards are the two that consume the most wattage. you only have one harddrive and you own the 9800GTX. the 9800GTX is built on the 65nm manufacturing process and consumes much less wattage then the older 8800GTX, which was built on the 90nm manufacturing process. so all in all, you should be fine. the PSU calculator that patio linked to should confirm that.
