Hello, 

I am currently changing my PSU however I would like to get a corsair one that allows me to plug an 8 pin and 4 pin cpu connector. I also have a rtx 2070 which requires two PCIE 8 pin connectors also. been stuck on this for a while but then i remember Linus had forums.

You don't have to use extra 4pin CPU connector. A single 8pin is more than enough even for high 2700x overclock.

Main system: Ryzen 7 7800X3D / Asus ROG Strix B650E / G.Skill Trident Z5 NEO 32GB 6000Mhz / Powercolor RX 7900 XTX Red Devil/ EVGA 750W GQ / NZXT H5 Flow

Even 9900k overclocked to 5Ghz under torture test can be easily sustained on a single ESP. Don't worry about 4pin connector. You will run out of cooling before you run out of power.
