660 ti PSU question

[LevelCapper]

I already have the 660 ti but it requires two 6 pin connectors. My psu only has a 6 pin and a 2 pin for pci. So is there a splitter I can get or should I just get a new psu?

I wouldn't use an adapter. That PSU is not suitable for the GTX 660 Ti. It may work for awhile with an adapter, but there will be problems down the road.
If you are looking for a budget priced PSU that is of good quality, I have used these in several builds: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182200

What would be a good psu in the less than $50 range?

Summary:

With the 500B, EVGA did pretty much what they set out to do - release a good, solid, no frills power supply at an affordable price. No, it doesn't have the performance of the Supernova units, but it really doesn't have to. That kind of performance costs money, and if you're shopping at the fifty bean level you simply cannot afford a world class unit. Units like this one are the next best thing. I'd like to see the Japanese capacitors used on at least the 5VSB output, but that remains my only major complaint right now. You could do a lot worse than one of these if all you have is fifty bucks to your name.

The Good:

very good voltage regulation on the 12V rail
excellent stability on the 5V rail
cheapity cheap cheap
good looking
shallow housing

The Bad:

could use a few zip ties in the packaging

The Mediocre:

non modular
second tier capacitors
some soldering blips

Dont buy a psu for less than £30, they are mostly a load of crap.
You should be allright at the moment though, just save for a 550-650w model from corsair, season, enermax, efx etc.
Edit: What the hell, that costs £50 in the uk, useless conversion rates.

If jonnyguru gives it a passing grade, I may have to add that to my list of low end PSUs for budget builds.
