I considered a Gigabyte Z390 Gaming X, but realized my PSU (Corsair VS 650) lacks a 4-pin cable for the motherboard. It might be time to upgrade the PSU if connecting is required.

You don’t have to add the extra 4-pin; it’s not necessary. The 8-pin already delivers up to 384W straight to the CPU. An i5-9600K won’t reach 300W or more. You’d only need the 4-pin if you’re aiming for record overclocking—such as with an i9-9900K. Otherwise, using a Gigabyte Z390 Gaming X wouldn’t be safe, since drawing around 500W would damage the board.

The Gigabyte Aorus Z390 Elite costs $15 higher than the Gigabyte Z390 Gaming X in US dollars. If you have a spare $15, I’d choose that option.
