Use this, it will tell you what your system requirements are, a general idea anyway.

As wolluf states, if the machine has basic graphics with nothing else demanding too much of the PSU then a 350watt PSU will manage just fine with 3HDD's
Quality is the key word here! powering three drives with a 350watt generic is possible but foolish! that is unless you don't value your hard drives or the data on them, very highly.
