Setting up a new rig, I would honestly love some feedback this is my first build, for Video and music production as well as heavy gaming. Not sure about what monitors to get that would take advantage of the hardware /software I want to use, any recommendations? Preferably two monitors, on the wider side. 

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/8jXRhy now my question is right now there is a compatibility issue and it says "additional EPS power connector is needed." now the case I was looking at comes with the PSU , and that's where i received the notice.

Should I ditch this case and get a different power supply and case? or is this something I can work around?

thanks again!

The motherboard in the list needs 2x 4+4pin CPU power. I havent seen / handled one of those boards myself. But i assume the PSU only comes with one 4+4pin.

I see 700W is more then enough power but i dont know if you can just use a 6+2 to 4+4 adapter.

So i just need to buy an extra cable for it and I'll be good ? or is it just hardware wont work with one another?

As i said, i dont know if you can just put a 4+4 into a 6+2 output.

But for a 700W PSU, it has very fex cables. Also i think the RTX cards use more then one PCIe power cable? this would not leave space for an adapter.

I am not really a specialist in PSUs(or anything tho) so i dont know how adapters react.
I wouldnt buy a PSU with so few connectors.

 

U might wanna try and use the subforum "CPU, Motherboard,..." to get an answer on the power stuff. I dont wanna say it will work cause i dont want you to fry anything. Also more ppl are active on that subforum.
