Should be plenty good! According to guru3d: http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/asus_geforce_gtx_660_directcu_ii_top_review,7.html


GeForce GTX 660 - On your average system the card requires you to have a 450~500 Watt power supply unit.
GeForce GTX 660 SLI - On your average system the cards require you to have a 700 Watt power supply unit as minimum.

His tested components are different but a little more demanding; so, if you plan on adding a second card or a beefier one down the road only then should you start to look to upgrade the psu! You're all good for now!
