Some PSUs supply the connector. I know that you definitely get it with semi-modular and modular PSUs but not sure others. if not then you will probably need a new PSU.

Who is your 660 from? If it is from Asus, I know that they do not supply you with that extra power cable to connect to the GPU.

if it does then one end(i guess the black one) goes into the gpu but where does the other end go(the white one)?

It connects to the free molex connectors on your PSU

yeah i was talking about this one....... my 6pin molex connectors white end goes there and the black end goes into the gpu right????

Yeah. Then all you need to do is test it. Your GPU might have an indicator light that is green when it is properly connected but red if it is not

We were all the same at some point in our life. but even as you become more knowledgeable there will always be something that you might not know that could be classed as noobiish. I have lost count how many times that has happened to me.

i dunno how to read the sticker so here is the sticker on my psu

 

Oh jeez...you may want to replace your PSU before putting your GTX 660 in.

By today's computer standards, that NOT a real "500W" Power supply. This piece of....thing...can only output a maximum of 288W on the +12v line (80%+ of the PC uses power form the +12v). It's more like a 300W unit at best.

 

A true quality built 500W - 550W will be plenty for your system. Here are a few examples
