From what I learned, my ssd, hard drive, node core (All the fans will be connected to it), and AIO will all need sata power but my PSU only has 3 places to plug it into. Will a need a PSU with 4 or 5 or is there some way I can use this PSU? I forgot to put the list but here it is. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/WmfTf9

Oh nice. Nothing would like break if I was to and everything would still get enough power?

The Corsair HX 1000 will handle all that with ease. I’d be flabbergasted if it doesn’t have enough SATA connectors. Three connectors sounds like one string. It should have a few strings of connectors.
Also while that PSU is superb. Are you planning major upgrades? Something in the 650W to 750w range is plenty. A 1000W PSU is more for multiple GPU, dual Xeon/Epyc, &c. Of course it’ll work without breaking a sweat. I’d just put that money into something like a faster CPU/GPU instead.

Actually I hadn't realized I was using that PSU. I aimed for around 650W but there were no gold PSU cheaper than this 1k watt in stock anywhere. This post was made before I updated the list and originally had the Corsair RM (2019) 750 W 80+ Gold. If a cheaper PSU were to come in stock would this be fine sata power wise?

😳 I didn't realize how bad PSU stock had gotten. I just checked PCPartpicker.com and confirmed. Don't just go with any Gold PSU. Make sure it is a well made one as there are junk ones. The few cheaper ones of good quality aren't much cheaper and far lower watts. So, they make little sense to buy.

Frankly, looking at pricing and availability. If you want to build a computer with a good PSU any time soon. I'd jump on that PSU before it is too late. As we're just getting into the summer PC gamer building season.

That PSU comes with cables that have a total of 16 sata power connectors, so no splitters will be needed.
