I'm trying to find a power supply unit (PSU) that is compatible with my motherboard. The manual specifies that it needs a 24-pin connector, an 8-pin connector, and an additional 4-pin connector. I've been using Newegg to search, but I'm having trouble identifying the right PSU that includes that extra 4-pin connector. PCPartPicker keeps flagging a compatibility issue with my current options due to the missing 4-pin connector. For instance, my Asus TUF GAMING X570-PLUS (WI-FI) motherboard requires it, while the EVGA 600 W1 power supply doesn't provide that 4-pin option. Any tips on what terms I should use to find a compatible PSU?

You just need to look for any ATX standard power supply. Most modern PSUs will have the required connectors you need. Just check the specs, and you'll be good to go!
Most ATX PSUs include all the necessary connectors. If you're seeing compatibility warnings, make sure to filter your search on sites like Newegg or PCPartPicker using 'ATX' and the number of connectors you need. You shouldn't have any issues finding a compatible PSU.
Yeah, searching specifically for ATX PSUs is definitely the way to go. Just keep an eye out for those additional CPU cables in the specifications!
Just to add, every modern PSU should come with 4+4 connectors on their CPU cables. You can plug the full 4+4 into the 8-pin and split it to connect one of the 4s to the 4-pin. It’s common these days!
