PCPartPicker is saying that my motherboard has a 4-pin ATX power connector and that my power supply doesn't have it, will this affect my performance a lot because i wont be doing extreme overclocking on my i7-9700k and moderate overclocking on my RTX 2070 Super

What power supply are you planning on using?

 

and if PCP means the extra 4 pin connection, then no.

Not needed.

8 Pin EPS already does 384W already, no need for the extra 4 pin EPS connector. (assuming that is the issue mentioned and not the 4 pin part of the 20+4 pin ATX connector)

It shouldn't affect your overclocking performance if you're doing a moderate OC on your CPU.
