Hello I have recently bought a 660 ti and the problem is that I only have one 6 pin to connect to my card and it requires 2x 6 pin which didn't work out. I have a 650w PSU (unsure) thought it was 500w. My question is if I buy this 6 inch PCI Express Power Splitter Cable which looks like this http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/81ew9Z2NiwL._SL15... will my power supply be fine? As it is taking double to power the splitter to the card. I am scared to use this splitter as I don't know if my power supply will supply enough power for a splitter into the card and that it might break. If anyone could help me, I would really appreciate it.

I was thinking about getting this http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/71RTWfffYuL._SL15... rather than the splitter? Any thoughts?

THIS is my PSU that I took a picture of http://i.imgur.com/CfZGc9O.jpg . I don't know anything about voltage and watts. I thought at first that my PSU was a 500w but then when I looked it says that it is 650W. Can anyone tell me if this psu is good enough for a 660 ti that uses a 2x 6 pin splitter or a 4pin to 6pin converter? to power the card? And also which one of the two should I get? A 4pin to 6pin or a 2x 6 pin power splitter

THIS LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE MY PSU http://i.imgur.com/DnxG1GH.jpg but the only difference is that this one is 520W While my PSU is 650W.
 
Solution
Yeah I would go with spilters on that power supply its just your basic affair PSU and you could take the risk of screwing up your system more. go get a corsair 500 watt or higher low cost will work.
