Connecting grapihics card to power supply

Hi there,
I recently bought a Ati Radeon x800XT (AGP)
I runs pretty smooth but I have a question
the card came with a power cable with 2 end (1 for graphics card and one for hd)
now I was wondering if it was better to connect my graphics card directlyto my power supply and use the cable for my 2 HDs or DVD drives
power supply: max 400w +3.3V/27A +5.5V/40A +12V/17A
Thnx
