Question Would this PSU (Corsair RM750x) fit my build? Not sure if enough PCIE slots.

So I was thinking of getting a Corsair RM750x 750W 2021 version as my PSU as I have heard good things about it. My chosen motherboard would be Asus ROG STRIX B650-A Gaming and GPU a PNY VERTO OC RTX 4080 Super. This is my first time having a GPU that requires more than one PCIe connection, requiring three 6+2 power connectors so I'm bit confused. I used pcpartpicker and it says that my components are compatible just noting that I shouldn't share one power cable with multiple 6+2 power connectors, but it also says that my motherboard uses two 8-pin connectors and the GPU uses three 6+2 connectors. When looking at the PSU information, I can only see four 8-pin connectors which wouldn't be enough if I'm not mistaken. So I'm wondering whether pcpartpicker is just displaying incorrect information, or whether I'm misunderstanding this. Sorry if I'm mistaken, been a while since I been looking into pc components.

If you scroll down to the requirements section, you 'll see it says;
Three 8-pin supplementary power connectors
This would mean that the card comes with an adapter that allows you adapt 3x8pin PCIe connectors to one 12VHPWR connector that goes into the GPU.

You might want to pass on the PCPartPicker link t your build though, for good measure.

I see, here is the pcpartpicker link just in case: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/GzRFrv
