this is my build... i dont want to change anything except for the power supply and/or motherboard if possible... when i select a power supply it gives this message:

"The ASRock Z490 Phantom Gaming 4 ATX LGA1200 Motherboard has an additional 4-pin ATX power connector but the Gigabyte 750 W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-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."

Can someone find me a power supply that will work i also require 4 memory slots. at least 1 m.2 ssd slot. 650W and i dont want anything less than 80+Bronze.

Also as a side note i have a astro a50 + base station xbox edition and it uses some kind of optical port at the back of the xbox... (the adapter they call is like 3.0 TOSlink or something):

  1. does my current motherboard have that
  2. if you try to change my motherboard to fit the power supply or vice versa can you double check that it supports the optical cable on the astros.
  3. if not is there an adapter of some kind i can buy (i DO NOT want to buy audio cards or anything.

PCPartpicker doesn't have all specs. Sometimes you have to double check yourself. It's a great site but isn't perfect.

Anyways, I don't know the quality of that Gigabyte PSU. I'll stick with one I know is excellent. Although PCPartpicker flags it for the CPU power plug missing. I checked to make sure. It does include two 4+4 EPS cables (CPU power cable).

You can download the datasheet. The 750w model has 2 cables for CPU. I'd just link it directly but I don't think we are allowed to directly link a download. Just the page for the download...

Edit: I have two of the 850W model.
