It says in specs 4/8 but cannot tell if it is dual 4 pins (like my last PSU) or one solid one. I just wanna make sure I am ordering something that will work lol. Any help or PSU suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

The 8 pin connection pulls apart into 2 - 4pin connections.

Ok thank you... Do all 8 pin PSUs break apart into 2 seperate ones?

Most do anyway.

Most PSU cables do, but some cheap/dodgy 8pin extenders won't split into two, so be careful with those. Make sure it's listed as 4+4 to be certain.
