What MB do you have? If your MB has the AMI BIOS, the four beeps means that the motherboard timer is not working properly. A hardware failure with an expansion card or the motherboard itself could be the cause of this beep code. http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/tp/ami-beep-codes.htm
So maybe the gtx660 is DOA, if your MB has 2nd pcie slot, try install the GPU into it, or try it in other PC.
If the gtx660 works fine and the problem may from the PSU, 500w Thermaltake T2, because it is not the good PSU. or do you have other gpu? If you have one and try it with the new PSU, and remember when you change the GPU you need use the "Guru3D - Driver Sweeper" to clean the driver before you install the new GPU and the driver. http://www.guru3d.com/content_page/guru3d_driver_sweeper.html

What do you mean " a radeon 7470 with a motherboarded power supply"? Do you mean you use the HD7470 on the same MB and used the same new PSU. And you don't have the display too.
Do you try the gtx660 on other pc yet if you have one? If you don't have one, try it in your friend PC.
And you don't answer the question yet, what MB do you have? If the gtx660 works fine in other PC, that means your MB/ pcie slot has problem.
