I need some help

[Rum]

I know you will probably think im a nood for asking this but will those goggles protect me from 5w 450nm (blue) laser? Therse nothing on the sides or top saying what its OD or nm and power range is.

Those look like very cheap Chinese goggles offered for ~$5.00 each. I would not trust my eyes to them, especially when using a 5 watt 450nm laser. Try looking at Survival Lasers for goggles rated at specific optical density and wavelengths that they cover. I might trust those goggles if I were working with a 50 mW blue laser, but only maybe and not with much confidence.

do you think welding goggles would work just asking not gonna use them

No. You need real laser safety goggles. Even then you should never test your goggles by shining the laser at your eyes with the goggles on. They are only meant to save your vision from an accidental strike by a laser of a very brief period of time.

I agree with the above.

Best idea is to get some good laser goggles see: https://www.survivallaserusa.com/Safety_Goggles/cat1667093_1527285.aspx

5W is way too dangerous to fool with on a hope and a prayer that low cost throw away goggles are adequate protection/good enough.

[Encap]

Yes, as Encap has already said. These are a good choice for that laser. But, you still don't want to look into the laser with the goggles on.
