Generally you want to increase the capacity of the power supply (rated in watts) if you want to add more components to the computer which require substantial amounts of power, such as graphics cards. You may also in some circumstances find that the computer has an under-specified power supply installed when it is sold/built and so it will need to be upgraded just to be able to power the existing components.
An under-rated power supply will manifest itself through system instability (randomly resetting or turning off when you do something that places a load on the system).
