I have just built a PC with the following specs,
MSI H87M-G43, Asus 2GB GTX 660, Intel i5 4670K LGA 1150, 2x 4GB patriot s, with a Thermaltake Commander MS-1 that came with a 500w tt-500nl1nh-1.
The problem is that when I try to start it up it all look green (or good) but then it restarts, and I have read something somewhere where the PSU (exact same model) fried itself (blew-up). Any quick fixes?

Most power supplies that come with cases are rubbish.
Antec make some half-decent included PSUs, but still borderline for a system like this.
I'd suggest you get a new power supply.
Corsair CX 500 is a good budget model.
XFX Pro 550 is better again.

First off, NEVER USE A POWER SUPPLY THAT CAME WITH A CASE! There is no way it will run a gtx660 for more than a few hours.
500 Watss? MWA HA HA HA HA ! More like 300.
Eradicate this problem by buying an XFX 550 WATT PRO CORE or similar psu, as you need it ANYWAY! Dont risk your components on that pony piece that came with!
And if you get a CX, Get the 600, its almost the same price.
