Hey, you're looking at a scenario where most MOBO and CPU combos seem to require 8+4 PINs for the CPU power. The challenge is that your Chieftec ctg 650 A80 only has one 4+4 PIN connector, which makes it uncertain if it would function correctly with just 8 PINs while leaving the rest unused. You're considering using components from the 13400F, 12600KF, or R7 5700X models. Since you don’t want to replace your PSU yet and have limited funds, you’re planning to upgrade your GPU later in 2-3 months.

Most users work well with an 8-pin connector. The additional four pins or eight on premium systems are reserved for advanced overclocking.
