I have got confused about what fan headers are.For example a mobo which has 3 fan headers can only have 3 fans in the whole pc,1 for the cpu and the other two for an entire pc?

unless you have a fan hub, fan splitter, or molex to pwm header

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

Well, not really. Each mobo header can power 2-4 fans or up to 1A of power draw (fans are 0.15A-0.65A usually). Only thing needed is splitter which comes with fan packs, some premium fans and tower coolers.
