every founders edition card that ships with a 12 pin port will also ship with an adapter so your 8 pin cables can power the card. every non-FE card will have regular PCIe connectors.

With 550 watts it will definitely be able to power it up, but I can't speak for the quality of the Gamemax GP units. @LukeSavenije might know something.

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 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

How many watts do I need?

550 definietly is enough. the thing is, my psu doesn't have 12 pin connector. Is that a big problem?
