Max power use for the FX 3700 is listed at 78 watts. Your Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor E8500 is listed at 65 watts.
If the rest of your system is just a few drives you should be ok with that power supply as long as it is good quality and not too old.

[strike]Nvidia does not list a Quadro FX 7300. They do list a Quadro 7300M. Anytime there is an M at the end of a GPU name, that means it is a mobile (generally laptop) version.

Most people that come here intend to use their computers for gaming. Not all, but most.

Here is the description Nvidia lists for that 7300M:

The Quadro® FX 3700M high-end mobile workstation graphics solution with its revolutionary unified architecture, delivers 1 GB memory, excellent image quality, and optimized visual computing application performance pushing the limits of a 17" mobile workstation. The reference standard for OpenGL 2.1, DirectX 10, and Shader Model 4.0, Quadro FX 3700M enables next generation applications with new levels of interactivity to meet the demands of CAD engineers, graphics designers, and other technical design professionals. - See more at: http://www.nvidia.com/object/product_quadro_fx_3700_m_us.html#sthash.5kJOX09R.dpuf

So it is clearly not a gaming GPU.[/strike]

No. Hard drive only uses 5-7 watts average.

Hmmm... Very strange behavior on the Nvidia site. When you search for Quadro FX 7300, it comes back with FX 7300M. Leave off the Quadro part, and it does come up with the FX 7300. I stand corrected.

The NVIDIA Quadro FX 3700 is the highend solution in NVIDIA’s latest generation of unified-architecture, professional product offerings. The entire NVIDIA Quadro family takes computer-aided design (CAD), digital content creation (DCC), and visualization applications to a new level of interactivity by enabling unprecedented programmability
and precision. The industry’s leading workstation applications leverage these capabilities to deliver hardware-accelerated
features, performance, and quality not found in other professional graphics
