can this safely run card like ASUS GTX 660 or any of EVGA 600 series thanks.

It will power your GTX 660. It has a system requirement of a "Minimum of a 450 Watt power supply".

The other cards in this series have their own requirements.

You have two 18 amp rails on that power supply. Your GTX 550Ti requires 22 amps. Be sure to put the motherboard 24-pin on one rail,and then put the graphics card additional power on the other rail. That should giver you good results.

Someone please give me a clear answer not just yes it will be fine something like yes you have enough watts and amps to run this card, I have looked everywhere for card requirements my PSU has 1 6+2 PCI connector the card I want only needs 6 pin if not then I will go with card that has requirement 400w minimum thank you.

The 6*2- pin cable is designed for use with graphics cards. It powers either 6-pin or 8-pin graphics card additional power connector. So yes it will work.
