Hi - The PSU in that prebuilt probably should be upgraded simply because it is most
likely in there because of it's very low cost to keep that system at a low price
initially. It is probably weak on the +12v rail amps as well.
I mention it because a quality 500w PSU is more than sufficient for a gtx 660 system,
a good 430w unit is enough, so you don't need 575-650w. If you want additional headroom,
a quality 550w unit is most likely the best way to go. Quality of the unit and amps avail
on +12v rail(s) are the key considerations.

You didn't list your budget, but here's some to consider:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182262 gold & modular - nets to $72

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817207013 nets to $60

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139020 650w unit - nets to $80

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182071 650w unit - nets to $77

These are all quality units, for your needs I think the 1st on listed is your best bet.
