Through pcpartpicker it is telling,my my x399 needs 2 EPS power connectors for the motherboard. I purchased the 1950x. Now, for my PSU I'm getting a 850W G3. Is the double RPS connectors something I purchase separately?

EDIT* I also need,to power my 1080Ti which seems to have 2 8 pin.

Wow, that was some serious misunderstanding. Anyways, yes, that PSU does have 2 EPS power cables, as you can see here:

The EPS cable section clearly states 2x700mm cables, where two is the no. of cables included and 700mm is probably the length of each. So your PSU does have enough EPS power connectors for the 1950X, I don't know why I thought you were saying that your PSU doesn't have 2 EPS cables xD.
Fristly, the EPS power connector and the power connector for the graphics card are two different things - they can NOT be interchanges. Secondly, if your PSU only has a sinlge 8-pin EPS connector, and your motherboard needs two, you'll need a different PSU with two EPS connectors. You can't them separately, though I'm sure someone somewhere would have found a way to work around this limitation with some modding. But generally speaking the two EPS connectors need to come with your PSU itself, and if they don't, your PSU and motherboard are technically incompatible.

Here's a solution that might work:

I understand what you have said and I am not certain I articulated my question correctly. Basically, does the G3 850W have 2 EPS? If not, can you recommend a good alternative that does.
