There is not enough connectors for the 660 ti

That is just that PSU. A new 500 watt like the one I linked will have enough connectors
Posted

So I need a PSU for a second computer I have, I just picked up a 3 month old 660 ti OC 2GB for 180. The computer is running a i7 3770, fuck ton of usbs, Asus p8z77-vlk, 3 hardrives and a tiny ssd. What size of power supply should I get, I want to be cheap as possible with it since this is a second computer and I do not care a lot about it.

500 watt and here is a good one @KirbyTech http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-80PLUS-Bronze-Certified-100-B1-0500-KR/dp/B00DGHKK7M/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1398005960&sr=8-5&keywords=500+watt+psu

500W will be more than enough, look for a repuatable brand such as corsair, seasonic, silverstone, xfx, FSP or antec

The wone i posted is good to, EVGA and 80+ bronze and only 35 USD, he said he wanted cheap

No worries, EVGA PSUs are rare where I come from so that's why i didn't mention the name. however if the brand name isn't SHAW or Thortec or some other unknown brand and the manufacturer stands behind it with a 5 year warranty with an 80+ bronze or better rating then you should be ok

You need to quote a post or tag a member or else they won't get a notification you replied to them.

 

Get a psu with enough connectors then.
