If the manufacturer says the card pulls 400 watts at full load, and you intend to run it at full load, you would be wise to provide the card with adequate power.
Finally, the PCI Express slot is only specified to supply 75 watts; the 6 pin PCI express power connector can provide 75 watts more, while the 8 pin provides double. Wikipedia notes some non-PCI Express compliant cards opt for two 8-pin connectors, giving way to 375 watts total, but this is non-standard and therefor rare.
Glad your setup is working, though.
