Your PSU is on the limit of the requirements for the GPU, especially if it's a low tier one.
Also it may depend on your legacy settings in BIOS. If you have an old Windows installation and MBR Windows partition and the 660ti requires GPT you might need to change partition type, but sadly the information on 660ti isn't easy to verify, unless someone with that card can confirm. And it really matters depending on your exact model which we don't even know.

Check the type of partition you have. If it's MBR you might have to change it to GPT. I can't say I've had this issue for years now but at one point I had to change my partition type and I also did this when changing someone's Windows from 7 to 8. Generally the newer cards and systems prefer GPT. Or just reset your BIOS by taking out the battery, waiting 10 seconds at least and put it back in.
