I don't see a graphics card on the list, which is weird
I'll just name a bunch anyway:
24 pin ATX motherboard connector
6/8 pin CPU power connector(according to motherboard CPU connector)
SATA power, one for each hard drive/SSD
Some SATA power cables come with multiple outlets on a single cable, use that if you have it
Now, the GPU, since your haven't said anything I'll just name a few that are used
GPUs use, at the very least, one 6 pin PCI-E cable to power the GPU, if you're going higher, the connector number may increase, for example, a GTX 1080 uses 2 six pin connectors
It's really easy to get confused in the CPU power connector and the PCI-E power connector, so take care of that
If you're a first time builder, which I'm pretty sure you are, I'd say go Semi-modular or non modular on the power supply
Semi modular PSUs have the CPU and motherboard 24 connector already connected, which will make sure you don't mix up cables, like the aforementioned CPU power and PCi-E power for the GPU

Lastly, watch a few build logs from Newegg's DIY garage on YouTube, it's detailed and helps in the build process, I'll link it below

The easypcbuiler channle's video on how to make a PC is good as well, so give that a try too

Hope this helped!
