Hello, I've been upgrading my computer over time, it's a large upgrade and has only just really come to being nearly finished. Every single part is new and I've just got my new graphics card. An Nvida gtx 660 ti, i had to get some extra 8 pin to 6 pin cables to power it since my power supply didn't have any 6 pin ones but now after i install it my computer just wont turn on, like it has power running through it because there are LED lights on the mother board but the i press the power button and nothing happens. Unplug the graphics card and it powers up again. I though i might need a bigger power supply even though i just bought a bigger one recently but they say the card needs 450-500 watts and my power supply is 600 watts. Does anyone have any idea what could be wrong?

Yes, it's a modular power supply, (http://www.amazon.co.uk/OCZ-OCZ600MXSP-UK-ModXStream-Power-Supply/dp/B001GLFD54/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1357891278&sr=8-4) This one, you plug in the cables you need but i didn't have any pci-e ones, i had no spare molex connectors, they're all being used up.
