But still they are saying that gtx 1660 super will need 8 pin for power connection where as vs450 got only 4 pica i think

4/8 pin is for the CPU, 6+2 is for the GPU. Modern power supplies only ever come with 6+2 these days, instead of 6 or 8 for PCIe, which old power supplies used to use.

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 needATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explainedgroup reg is bad

There is no 4pin PCIe. Either 6pin or 8pin. Quite often PSUs will have a 6pin which has an additional 2pin that can be clipped together to make an 8pin, depending on whether your graphics card needs a 6pin or 8pin. Most newer cards use 8pins.

The Corsair VS450 should have two 6+2pin PCIe connectors.
