you are lucky that they were only the psu ALWAYS USE GOOD QUALITY 80+ CERTIFIED FOR A GAMING PC
gtx 660 requires 24 amps and a minimum of 450 watt of PSU.

use any of these PSU in future.
ALTHOUGH I THINK PSU WERE CRAPPY AND GOT BURNT AT LOAD THERE IS ANOTHER EXPLANATION THAT IS EARTHING AND POWER SURGE SO CALL AN ELECTRICIAN AND DO A PROPER EARTHING OF THE BOARD WHERE YOU INSERT THE PSU PLUG .

I finally bought a Thermaltake 500W with 85+ PFC and everything gone just fine . But I wonder what are the standards of classic psu manufacturing .... All these cheap psus are just cruppy or did I have to go for much more watts for this system ??

running this cpu @ 4.5ghz with a gtx780 on a CX600M for a while ...
don't feel too comfortable myself to be honest but your previous psu's were probably crap.
- oh wait i just read their names ... yeah, hopefully your system isn't damaged by those yet...
