Sounds like a great build. Definitely gonna look cool. What 2080 Ti are you getting and what motherboard are you thinking about? I'm guessing one of the nice Asus boards. :P
Figured it out, I had to format it in disc management. Thanks though.
One more question before I stop spamming this thread. Are these temps and voltages good? I monitored it while playing BFV for a while and this is the result, but I know nothing about voltage or anything so I don't know if this is alright.
The PSU is literally the same one Soda posted, although I'd prefer to not spend $160 on it and wouldn't mind bumping up the power since the computer does have a graphics card and an extra HD in it.
Not sure if this is a good enough photo:
Basically, the 20-pin connector labeled "P1" in the center is the one plugged in to the motherboard, then there's two daisy chains of the one just to the left of the motherboard, which I think is the molex connector you mentioned. One of the daisy chains has two of those 4-pin connectors, the other has three, and they both end in that smaller bright white 4-pin connector (which goes in to the floppy drive on one of the chains.)
The square four pin connector just to the left of the ribbon cable and the 6(?) pin connector on the far left edge aren't connected to anything.
EDIT: Ok, I just found this page with pictures and names of the connectors. If that page is correct, I've got a 20+4 pin as the main power connector for the motherboard (with the +4 not being used,) two molex connector daisy chains, both which end with a floppy connector. Still not sure what that one on the far left is. This looks like it might do the trick (https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817707005) but it doesn't mention the molex even though they are in the photos.

LOL, if I spend $30 on a PSU, it'll double it's value. I always keep my old computers because I'm always scared I'll forget to transfer something important, and in this particular case, it's the only computer I have that has drivers for a particular scanner I use.
I'm pretty certain my CPU is fried. This sucks beyond measure. I don't use my PC enough to justify a $1000+ upgrade and I just bought a GeForce 1080.
I suppose it's long for CPUs? I think I'm conditioned by GPU gens now to think that anything fewer than 2 years between a gen is fine =P
Yes.
I found a used 3960x on eBay for $100. I can't really argue with that price, plus it's an upgrade (albeit a minor one).
So after almost three years of planning (two and a half of having the computer built on the motherboard box and then in a partial case) I finally finished my computer build...

My PC has its safety shut-off set at 83°. Yeah, 102°C is really high.
That's the way it used to be done, so it's not really your mistake.
Yeah $1000 for cpu+mb+ram is overkill when you can easily build a great ryzen combo for half the price.
what cpu? did you set it manually? 83C is really low for a cut-off.
The i5-8400 doesn't bring a CPU Cooler? That's odd
There's no way I would go from a high-end CPU to anything less. So, I'd expect to go hexcore or more with hyper-threading, same as my i7-3930k
I made no compromises when I built my machine 6 years ago and it's lasted me this long. If I could, I'd go with replacement parts that could also carry my far into the future. And, as stated in a previous post, I really don't game on my PC, so it's all moot. WoW has been the one game I've played on my PC since Diablo 3 (though with many hours of DIablo 3).
Yeah, I'd go Ryzen, without a doubt. Here's what I priced out. I am open to suggestions, if nothing more than to learn what's out there.
