A 650ti only takes a max wattage of 110W according to nvidia http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gtx-650ti/specifications, and they recommend a 400W psu so most likely it was a bad power supply.

Adding on to what the previous poster said, it is important to research on a good power supply. Not all PSUs from a reputable brand are good, like Corsair's CX series and CM's Elite series. You are lucky that the PSU just failed and nothing else happened. There have been cases of crappy PSUs popping and in other cases, catching fire. 

 

You need a better psu, although not necessarily from a better brand. CM's V series PSUs are great.

To clarify, only the straight up V. VS is terrible.
