One will do, but if you have 2 and spare ports then both is fine too

-sigh- feeling like I'm being too negative lately

Is two for heavier tasks other than gaming or something? 

Two is suppose to be for extreme overclocking but the standard for the amount of power that can go over one is so high the second is kind of a gimmick.

You don't need more than a single 8-pin even for extreme OC. 

The extra 4-pin is just a marketing gimmick.
