I am building my first rig and am planning on getting some good stuff but I'm only confused with 2 things I am getting a case that I'm not sure will fit the graphics card and I'm getting a psu that I'm not 100% sure supports the pins I need 

 

Psu

Gpu

Case

Case will fit up to 411mm GPU's, the GPU you chose (it's this one, just to verify? https://www.asus.com/Graphics-Cards/ROG-STRIX-RTX2060-6G-GAMING/) 300mm large, so will fit easy.

The GPU needs a 6 pin and 6+2 (8) pin connector. Your PSU has  4 6+2 pin connectors, of course the +2 can be 'broken off' the 6 pin, so your PSU has the correct cabling.

Okay that's awesome 

 

Where on the psu is the 4 6+2 connectors or can the 4 8 pin ports be used as the 4+4 cpu connector as well?? 

The cables included with the RM750X (it's a fully modular PSU, so all these cables come in a bag with the PSU):

Spoiler

So for PCIe power (GPU power) you get two cables, both with two 6+2 pin cables, so four total. Most current GPU's take one 8 pin (6+2) or maybe two of them.

This PSU also comes with an 8 pin (4+4) EPS connector, which is exclusively for motherboards (this is CPU power, 8 pin is normal, but some boards now have an 8 pin and also 4 pin).

The pins on a PCIe and EPS connector are differently shaped, meaning you can't use one cable in another connector or vice versa (plus the pinout - as in where the ground, 12v, etc. - is located is differently too).

 

And just to make the other cables clear to you, the 24 pin is to be plugged in to the motherboard, SATA is for 2,5" SSD's, HDD's, optical drives (like bluray and DVD drives) and some more stuff

Peripheral connector is also called Molex (peripheral cable is the official name) and it's really something that shouldn't be in use anymore :P But some people use it for fan hubs and such and floppy adapter.. is going from peripheral/molex to a floppy drive connector.. I assume you won't use that anymore too ;)

The GPU seems to be the OC version of that card but it's probably the same
