First of all, I am not sure this is right category so please correct me if this is wrong one.

So, yesterday I bought OC Gtx 1050 Ti and realised I needed 6 pin connector. I don't have one so I need a new PSU.

I know I have ATX case and my specs are:
i5-4460 3.2 Mhz
1x8gb RAM
Gtx 1050 Ti
1 TB hard drive
240gb SSD

I have around 50$ budget and I am not sure if other components but GPU even need specific connectors. Btw on my current PSU I have 20+4 connector.

So, any suggestions so everything works great?

Even a PC with a Vega 56 + OC 7700k combo will only use around 300w while gaming.

You'd have to go with the liquid cooled vega 64 + high overclocked, high end CPU, + more case fans and accessories.

Also, it would be out of budget. The PSU you recommended is over $30 more expensive and still is a worse quality PSU than the corsair CXM. If one is found in budget, though, I'd probably advise it.

What does actually matter here? I mean would any PSU that can fit and has 6 pin connector work? I am asking because in my country, only Corsair VS is selling

No the Corsair CX 2017 is completely different to the Corsair CXM 2015. The 2015 modular version is based on a custom CWT platform, which is reviewed very highly for it's price (example).

The CX non-modular 2017 models however have not been individually reviewed and are made off two different platforms, both different to the CXM 2015 version.
One platform those PSUs may include is one from Great wall, the same as the Riotoro Onyx, which has been reviewed as slightly behind the CXM 2015 models.

The second platform it may use is a custom by CWT, which has not been reviewed yet so the quality/performance is completely unknown. Another reason to avoid.

If you're using your original retailer site, the Antec Neo Eco would be the best ~50. Otherwise, I agree with the XFX TS at that price.
EDIT: Just found this Corsair CX450m. Is better than both the Antex Neo ECO and XFX TS.

but only enough for a 1070, should vega take off and start slapping nvidia all around the ring, then you might swap to AMD, BUT their power consumption is massive, so 450W then would be too tight.

Historically the rule of thumb was a good 550-650W was good enough for any single card.
Pascal and lower CPU consumptions changed that to 450-500W.
Vega has taken us back to where we were.

Don't buy a PSU for the rig you have right now, if you do you'll have to buy a new PSU with every upgrade, buy for the range of rigs you might have the future, most people know, that they will or will not bother with SLI, so set yourself up for the future and that PSU will outlast every other component that you have.

So its ok if I keep this one? Btw I have 1 molex extracted in 2 Molexes and then extracted to 6 pin
Or are you recommending I get even more expensive one?

You've been recommended other PSU's and been told what's good.
Using molex to 6 pin, is a really bad idea.
If you get a 450W PSU, it will be OK for your build right now, but with a future upgrade you'll probably have to buy a new one, with a slightly bigger PSU, perhaps not much more expensive, you'll be OK for any 'normal' upgrades that you might consider, hence you'll only have to buy 1 PSU and not 2 over the next few years.
This for instance will the PSU that will take any single card card build you can throw at it, and will last for 5+ years easily. https://www.mlacom.si/seasonic-m12ii-620-evo-620w but it is only a little more.
PSU's are the foundation of your system, they may not be sexy, they may not give you more FPS, but without them you get no FPS and a funny burning smell.

To be honest 450w from a quality PSU will last you along time. It will pretty much power any single gpu + CPU combo, and I doubt you want to go sli due to their problems. For instance a build including a GTX 1070, recognised as a high end card, paired with an overclocked 7700k which was the fastest gaming CPU would only consume around 215w while game.
