This hard-drive is it going to be an additional drive or a replacement? If its a replacement you wont have an issue, but if its an additional drive your system will use more electricity. What PSU do you have? Why did you replace it before, for a bigger one ?

Could you post wattage of your PSU and your GPU?

according to what you've said so far,
chances are, it will be fine.

HDDs use much less power than a graphics card. Unless the PSU in your system is extremely marginal, adding an additional HDD will not be a problem. For instance, a 2TB WD Black HDD uses 11 watts for a read/write operation and 8 watts at idle, a graphics card will use substantially more, depending on which card you have it uses 10-15X or more power.
