If your PSU doesn't have the right power connectors required by your GPU, (2 x 8 pin PCIe in this case), that is usually a sign that it wasn't designed to run a GPU with those power draw requirements. That's a pretty low-end PSU to be pairing with a high-end GPU.

FYI Nvidia recommends a 650 watt PSU for the RTX 3070. Also, RTX 3000 series GPUs have a well deserved reputation for running into issues if not fed with a quality PSU of the proper wattage. If you try to find some 'quick fix' for this issue, it's highly likely that you'll run into more issues soon enough.
