Wait what? Nvidia uses a single 12 pin. MSI uses 2 8 pins, or basically what you'll find with literally any standard psu for their 3070 ventus lineup. Buy like a 650w antec neoeco gold, or something. 

I am NOT a professional and a lot of the time what I'm saying is based on limited knowledge and experience. I'm going to be incorrect at times.

Any 650/750W unit from the PSU Tier List of Tier B or greater (Tier A or B) are a must with Amphere graphics cards.

That's only on Founder Edition (FE) Nvidia RTX 30 series cards as those are designed by Nvidia. Nvidia provides an adaptor that goes from the 1x12-pin to 2x 8-pin but you do not have to worry about this as you have a custom PCB card by MSI utilizing the 8-pin connectors.
