Is the PSU enough for these specs?
- If yes, then is it safe to convert two molex/sata to an 8-pin pcie connector?

The wattage is fine but I'd NOT use that PSU. 

Firstly, I'm sorry for misspelled words and grammar mistakes, english is not my native language.

Secondly, I'm not a hardware pro, so sorry if I ask dumb questions.

 

So, today I bought a RX 580 (from here: https://kazycomputers.hu/powercolor-red-dragon-rx580-8gb-gddr5-axrx580-8gbd5-3dhdv2oc-17158?utm_source=arukereso&utm_medium=cpp&utm_campaign=direct_link). After the purchase I realised that I might not have enough power for the GPU to work. Not a long time ago I also realised that my PSU doesn't have any pcie connectors, only two 4-pin molex connectors and two 15-pin sata connectors.

 

Here are my specs:
PSU: Danubius D12-ATX450W 450W
MOBO: ASUS M5-A78L-M LX3
CPU: AMD FX-8300 @3.3Ghz (base clock)
SSD: Samsung QVO 860 1TB
RAM: Samsung DDR3 1 x 4GB
GPU: RX 580 8GB (link above)
Other:
WLAN adapter: TP-Link TL-WN781ND

 

My questions are:
Is the PSU enough for these specs?
- If yes, then is it safe to convert two molex/sata to an 8-pin pcie connector?
- If no, then can you recommend me a cheap, but trustworthy PSU?

A cheap but trustworthy PSU is the Seasonic M12II-620 Evo, it's fully modular, so , you will be able to do some cable management and it only costs 50-60 dollars, it's the best psu at this pricepoint

Okay, I'll have a look at it, thanks for the recommendation
