Talk about building a Mid Gaming PC with tips required
Here’s a revised version of your text with the same length and structure:
I currently have a list of items to assemble. Most have been bought, but not yet put together. I’m missing an SSD, which would be simple, but I haven’t decided on a CPU cooler for this configuration. Please offer some helpful feedback. I’m willing to return certain components. There are warnings about my build that I’m unsure whether to worry about regarding an additional 4-pin 12V connector my motherboard has, while my PSU doesn’t. I have limited knowledge of my PSU (Gigabyte G750H) but found a good price on it. Thank you all! Your support means a lot!
The general guideline is to use a 20 pin PSU with a 24 pin motherboard, provided the PSU includes a 4 pin cable for the CPU.
However, you're depending heavily on PCPartPicker for details. For example, it lists the SeaSonic FOCUS Plus Gold 750W PSU as superior and cheaper, but no vendors are shown with it in stock. This happens even though Amazon lists vendors and prices it reasonably.

This review site is recommended for evaluating any high-end PSU. They are the most reliable and strict in their assessments.

Regarding CPUs, I prefer premium air coolers—they’re simpler to maintain and can match the performance of top AIO water coolers. Pairing them with a well-ventilated case makes water cooling unnecessary.
When it comes to SSDs, I’m uncertain about the specific models you’re considering. With such a large budget for poor components, it’s wise to opt for a 2TB M.2 drive and stick to more cost-effective options. You can still enjoy your build if you spend wisely.
I was planning to post before making the purchase, but I noticed you bought all the parts. That was a mistake. A huge one. You spent 1200 dollars on a 1080TI. Why did you do that? You could have gotten a used 1080TI for 150 dollars on eBay. Exactly 150 dollars.
If I were you, I would return everything. Absolutely everything. With that 2000 dollars, you could get an INTEL 10900K with a better board, 32GB of RAM and an RTX 3080. For the same amount of money for the system you just bought.
The 1080TI isn't worth 1200 dollars anymore. It's now worth under 499 thanks to the RTX 3070.
Here is what I was able to put together fast with that budget. You add that 699 dollars GTX 3080 in that system when it comes out and it's the same price as the one you built with that 1080TI. Can you see the difference? i5 9600k to i9 10900k top of the line Intel CPU with the best air cooler.
32GB of RAM instead of 16. A 850 Watts RMX gold which is the same price as the 750 Watts so why not.

Yes, partspicker was the only option I had at first since I was new to this kind of work, as you noticed.
I value your advice. I’m planning to sell my PSU on Ebay and will need another one soon. I acted quickly because it was a low price.
Also, I paid $350 for an EVGA 1080ti 11gb GPU locally from someone, so I thought I got a solid deal. It came with a cooler, which saved me buying one separately.
For the CPU, I was told the Noctua NH-D15 CHROMAX.BLACK 82.52 CFM cooler would suit my system. Any suggestions?
And it seems better to install a M.2 NVME SSD first for primary storage because it’s faster—something like the Silicon Power A80 1 TB M.2-2280 NVME SSD, with the option to upgrade later if needed, right?
I purchased the 1080ti sc2 hybrid from a local seller for $350, not as a brand new item, since partspicker.com mentioned otherwise. I got it at a reasonable price and didn’t need to buy a cooler for my GPU, so I thought I was getting two benefits at once.
How am I being unclear about how much I paid? I never intended to mislead anyone, and with the partspicker link, it shows the MSRP—not the actual price I paid for the part. Please accept my apologies if it appeared that way, but no attempt was made to deceive.
It doesn't matter if it's deliberate or not. When you mention items you claim have been purchased with a price, without acknowledging you didn't pay it, it becomes misleading. This is just common sense when you consider the situation. You're not viewing things from our perspective.
It also consumes our time because it makes us assume you have ample funds to spend, which might lead us to offer recommendations for purchases you can't actually afford. Be responsible and reflect on your posts if you aim for genuine advice. That's the key.
Really? I’m not sure about your view. From my side, I just want to share what I think. When I see a MSRP next to a part, it doesn’t automatically mean that’s what someone actually paid. That should be common sense—and something an experienced user should know.
