Usually the graphic cards will draw the most power when in use. Peek usage will cause them to really amp up their draw and when they are idle (as in just doing a basic desktop) they tend to draw much less power.

A large number of hard drives can cause a significant draw during boot up but not always during running. Some systems support a staggered spin-up for the drives to prevent the power supply from choking.
