can you help me find a proper PSU for my build?

So I have this PC build and I can not find a proper PSU. this is the component list: 


CPU: Intel Core i9-12900K 3.2 GHz 16-Core Processor  ($589.99 @ Amazon) 
CPU Cooler: EK EK-AIO D-RGB 66.04 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler  ($162.99 @ Amazon) 
Motherboard: Asus ROG MAXIMUS Z690 EXTREME EATX LGA1700 Motherboard  ($1099.99 @ Newegg) 
Memory: G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6400 CL32 Memory 
Memory: G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6400 CL32 Memory 
Storage: Crucial MX500 2 TB 2.5" Solid State Drive  ($199.99 @ Adorama) 
Storage: Samsung 970 Evo Plus 2 TB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive  ($219.99 @ Adorama) 
Storage: Seagate IronWolf Pro 4 TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive  ($124.99 @ Adorama) 
Video Card: Asus GeForce RTX 3090 Ti 24 GB STRIX LC GAMING OC Video Card  ($2099.98 @ Amazon) 
Case: Cooler Master MasterBox MB511 ARGB ATX Mid Tower Case  ($95.75 @ Amazon) 

Edit: so I get this error message while trying to add a PSU: 

  The video card PCIe 16-pin power connector adapter is being supplied by three 6+2-pin power connectors. Please ensure that the three 6+2-pin power connectors are not daisy-chained and do not share the same power cable.

There are quite a few Psu calculators out there.

 

At a guess I'd say you'd be okay with a 750w but find a calculator

Assuming you're in the US (for pricing) this should do. EVGA Supernova G6 1000w

750w isn't going to be enough for a 3090 Ti and 12900K

I'd go with a Corsair RM850x. Anything less and you're tempting the fates in regard to GPU transients, especially with that GPU.

I don't badmouth others' input, I'd appreciate others not badmouthing mine. *** More below ***

Due to the above, I've likely revised posts <30 min old, and do not think as you do.

For a good buffer i'd go with a 1000W PSU as @Pixelfie mentioned the G series EVGA's are solid.

Also the Corsair RM 1000i is a good option as well

You have already spent a fortune on that system, so you might as well get something like a Corsair HX 1200W. 

 

As for the error message, you just need to plug 3 separate pcie cables into the adapter cable that comes with the gpu.
