My PSU is an Evga 700W BR with only one 8-pin CPU connector. I'm planning to upgrade my motherboard, CPU, and RAM. I've checked and it seems fine to use just one of the 8-pin connectors if I'm not overclocking. Is that correct? I also want to undervolt the CPU and have the full system specs ready just in case.

Thumb rule with PUS's; if your PSU lacks the required connectors for your setup, then you either have the incorrect PSU or the mismatched components.

You can indeed use just one EPS12V 8-pin, but ensure the power limits on your CPU are properly set before proceeding. It's also worth considering a higher-quality power supply for the setup you're discussing.

Sure, I'll try to keep it similar in length and structure while changing the wording.

Absolutely, this situation is quite concerning. The PSU needed to be upgraded with higher-quality components prior to installing the GPU, rather than being replaced later on.
