Do I need the +4 eps connector for x570-A pro?

Hi, I recently rebuilt my PC and while i have yet to gather all of the parts. I have everything but the RAM so far. while checking everything out i noticed the motherboard uses the normal 8 pin EPS connector for the CPU power. But I also noticed a second 4 pin EPS connector right next to it. Is this required? the motherboard I am using is the
MSI X570-A pro and my power supply is Corsair RM650. This power supply only has a single 8 pin EPS connector. 

Can I run this with just the 8 pin? or am I required to have the +4 pin. That said, if I am required to have it, can I just but the +4 pin at microcenter or something? or would it be better to just return the PSU I have and find one with the right connections?

It's not required, just an extra if you need more power for extreme overclocking.

awesome thanks, so many forums seemed to be conflicting with their answers so its nice to just get a straight yes or not.
