Hi all,
I am about to start purchasing components for a new build soon, a TR4 X399 Taichi motherboard, AMD 1950X CPU and some DDR4 RAM.
I only have one question- can I reuse my current PSU Be Quiet Pure Power L8 630W with the new components?
My concern is that 1950X need more CPU power (being 2 CPUs glued together) and requires two pins to be connected to the motherboard- one 4pin 12V and another 8 pin 12V.
I know pretty much nothing about PSUs, only how to connect them to a conventional motherboards.
I read a topic online (reddit, I think) according to which 630W will be sufficient to power the 1950X and a GTX 1080ti as long as I don't overclock and don't SLI the graphics card. They also said one would need a special PSU with two 8 PINs o something like that.
Here's a link to my current PSU:

Much appreciated.
