Question I need some PC help.

I need some PC help.

This is my first time building a PC and i have everything i think I want picked out there is just one thing stopping me before I order the rest of the parts I need. There is no major compatibility problems but it does say this:
The video card PCIe 16-pin power connector adapter is being supplied by three 6+2-pin power connectors. Please ensure that the three 6+2-pin power connectors are not daisy-chained and do not share the same power cable.
I have googled around and can't seem to find out the answer and whether I will need to pick out a new motherboard or not to work with the 4070TI that I picked out
This is the link for all my PC things I have chosen: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/caleb_nelson9/saved/#view=csB6Bm

The PSU is absolute junk, cheaply made and group-regulated. You don't need a 1000W PSU and if you did, good 1000W PSUs cost twice this (and up). Apevia sells a lot of bottom-basement PSUs that don't have business being turned on, let alone used with a new GPU.

Thanks, I changed it and the disclaimer went away. Appreciate the help! I picked that one out becuase a friend told me that it was super reliable but based on what you told me he was wrong.

If he's actually recommending low-end Apevia PSUs, I would probably run any advice he supplies on PC building by a third-party first. Cheap and nasty.

Ideally, you want to run three PCIE connectors on three separate cables rather than one, because modern GPUs are very spiky, in the sense that they can briefly have huge bumps in power usage. It's not necessarily dangerous, however, with a quality PSU, and even having two separate cables instead of three is almost always just fine. The biggest part is having that quality PSU in the first place; having three separate cables from a junk PSU is far worse than having one daisy chained cable from a good one.

The curated PSU list kept in our forums is no longer kept up-to-date (the creator had a habitual problem with foul language), but it's still accurate for the PSUs that are out there.
