maybe he means 6+2 pin PCIE? or just a 6 pin but i need 8 pin for that 570

You should find out. What model is it?

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

I wouldn't trust a power supply with no label, let alone a used one.

well if you're ok with damaging something in the event of a PSU failure then go for it.

Evga has offered a number of 450W 80+ Bronze and one 450W 80+ Gold psu. The later is semi-modular. Like @fasauceome, I wouldn't trust a psu that did not have an intact label.

 

Evga has released some pretty poor psu in the past.

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.

alright then, I may have an old case I left a basically brand new corsair cx550 but I don't know where the modular PSU cables are
