Might get an EVGA GTX 950 card that's marked down. Only problem is that it takes an 8 pin PCI-e pug instead of the usual 6. But my PSU (Antec VP450 450W) only has one 6-pin pci-e plug. So would a Dual 4 Pin Molex To 8 Pin PCI-E adapter be safe. It's a factory OC'd GTX 950, so it's not a high wattage card.
Is a Dual 4 Pin Molex To 8 Pin PCI-E OK to use on a GTX 950 with an 8-pin socket.

Should be fine. The GTX 950 is a mild mannered 90W gfx card at reference. That's only 7.5A on the +12v rail. Nvidia recommends a 350W PSU minimum for the reference model. But since your card is an OC version, it will pull a bit more when maxed out and need a slightly bigger PSU. Your budget model 450W VP450 with its 2 x 18A/360W +12V rails is a marginal, low end PSU, but should be OK if you don't do any CPU or GPU OC'ing on your own. What CPU are you running?
