[SOLVED] First PC Build - Need Help Choosing Power Supply

This is my first PC build.

It's a mid-range gaming PC build for my girlfriend's teenage daughter.

No overclocking. She's not a hardcore gamer playing the most demanding games, but she does like playing a variety of games.

After some feedback from this forum, here's what I've got on PCPartPicker.com:

Here's where I need some help...

The Notes on PCPartsPicker.com says this:
The ASRock B550 Phantom Gaming 4/ac ATX AM4 Motherboard has an additional 4-pin ATX power connector but the Thermaltake Toughpower GF1 650 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply does not. This connector is used to supply additional 12V current to the motherboard. While the system will likely still run without it, higher current demands such as extreme overclocking or large video card current draws may require it.

Is this going to cause me problems?

How do I find a power supply that provides the additional 4-pin ATX power connector?

Where am I looking for this information?

You don't need that extra 4 pin unless you do EXTREME overclocking.
