The only problem I'm getting is: The Gigabyte Z390 AORUS PRO ATX LGA1151 Motherboard has an additional 4-pin ATX power connector but the EVGA 500 W 80+ Certified 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.

Doing this will have better gaming performance, 5700 is ~10% faster than the 2060, and better general use performance with the 6c/12t CPU vs 6c/6t CPU. You also have a FAR better PSU here that can take bigger CPUs or GPUs in the future. The dual SSD will make your gaming and normal usage feel better. All of this will be at about the same amount of money (cannot say for sure as your 2TB HDD and case in the link don't have prices).
 
Solution
Built in wireless on the motherboard
Faster memory
Better graphics card
NVME SSD with a decent amount of storage. If you go too small you'll regret it in the near future.
Don't skimp on the power supply. It will lead to damaged hardware and unnecessary troubleshooting.

lol how the hell did you do that? Something has to be missing!

Did anyone actually answer your question?

Are you referring to the CPU connector(s)? The CPU connectors are located right next to the CPU. There should be an 8-pin connector and a 4-pin connector. You don't need to connect a cable from your PSU to the 4-pin connector unless you're planning on doing some heavy duty overclocking. You DO need to connect a cable from your PSU to the 8-pin connector. Hope this helps.
