So I am building a PC with 

CPU- R5 3600

MOBO- Gigabyte Aorus ax370 gaming k7

GPU- GIGABYTE rtx 2060Super 3 fan edition ?

 

I am confused on what all PSU pins should I have for all the parts of my build to have a PSU connector. Like what are the connectors I need. Btw I will be going for a 550W PSU as that's more than enough, or at best a 80W white rated 650W

The only thing you will want to make sure of is the PSU has the correct GPU power needed. Assuming I found the right GPU on google (if you can provide a link to the one your interested in that would help), it needs a 6 pin and an 8 pin. Most quality PSU's will have two "6+2" pins for GPU which would be what you need.

No idea what are you asking about, go to Pcpartpicker, select all your components and then you can select compatible PSU.

There's rather loose relation between certification level and wattage of PSU and it's quality. Refer to this tier list to pick it, smth from tier B and up would be enough but if you can spare some money for tier A\A+ it'll be a bonus.

Every ATX PSU has EPS cable[CPU], 24 pin connector[MOBO power],and every 550W PSU has 2xPCIE connectors. Just pick a psu you like and you are fine.

Not all of them will have 2 pcie cables. Most will but jot all of them. So its a good idea to make sure the psu has it.
