So I clearly know and understand how stupid my question is but please try your best 
GTX660 + Intel Quad core q6600 on Corsair CV450 [no rgb, no ssd, only 1 hdd, no overclocking]
Does that not work? Does that PSU cannot handle those two together? I know how much q6600 is bottlenecking 660 but I just wanna know it at this point after trying so hard.
Every time I try booting my PC with Pcie connector both cpu fan and 660's fan will spin for half a second then stops and nothing else happens. No display, no light, nothing.
I tried booting without Pcie inserted but card still in and it booted and showed the error "Please connect your PCIE connector to your graphics card."
Right now I am on GT710 and q6600 with same PSU [Corsair CV450] and its working just fine. My guess is probably either GPU [GTX660] is internally shorted or PSU simply cannot handle these two together and is shutting itself down coz of over current protection. I just wanna hear something from someone who is actually experienced with this stuff.
And if CV450 is not enough will CV550 be enough? I am not actually gonna buy or anything coz ofc I am not that stupid but I am curious now because after adding both GPU's and CPU's TDP 450 "should" be enough.
TDP of GTX660 is 140w [max]
TDP of q6600 is 105w [acc. to intel's site]
