Buying power supply before ampere coming out

[Fzero]

So my problem is that I was planing on buying all the parts for my new pc this august build it when im back for school on semptember 1st and use everything new except my gtx 1070ti while i wait for ampere cards to come out. Now  i have almost everything i need for my pc except the biggest question the psu i was planing buying corsair hx1000i for my practically all corsair build but now since the news came out about ampere using new 12 pin connector i dont know if i should wait for new power supplies with that connector and spend more money or get it cheaper now and risk not being compatible?

My understanding is the 12-pin connector is purely internal testing at this point.
It's also my understanding that there will be a 6+6 adapter that will be included, when/if it's implemented.

That said, without knowing the rest of your build, I find it unlikely at best that you're in a situation where you need a 1k unit.

Didn't the author of that article say that the 12 pin is just a joke?

Don't worry about it. Even if the 12 pin ended up being real, they'll probably include some sort of adapter or something. I doubt every consumer will end up being forced to buy a new PSU for ampere.

The most recent news I have on it is from 15 days ago, says that it's very much a thing that has been submitted for validation, but has not been approved at this point in time, nor has it been expressly stated as anything but internal testing.

If there's new information on it (which is entirely possible), I've not seen it.

This. Plus the same article also says, that it is not sure that AIB partners even have to follow it. I personally wouldn't worry about the connectors at the moment.

At the moment, it's uncertain if the 12-pin PCIe power connector will be exclusive to Nvidia's Founders Edition models or the same for all aftermarket models. At any rate, we shouldn't be despair since the PCI-SIG group might not even approve the 12-pin PCIe power connector.

if that's the case won't the adapter limit power delivery and lower the possible overclock or is it practically negligible?

i dont see why it would tbh.
