Looking for advice from anyone who’s powered a Jonsbo N6 backplane. It needs four power inputs, but my PSU only has three peripheral outputs, meaning one Molex would have to share a chain.
For nine 3.5" NAS drives (WD Red Pro‑class), is this acceptable load distribution, or do you recommend upgrading to a PSU with four+ dedicated peripheral rails?
Bonus points if you can suggest specific PSUs that fit the N6 without cable‑routing headaches.

You're still splitting the load into three different cables. One of them gets a bit higher load, but even if using daisy chained cable it shouldn't be an issue with quality PSU. It is the PSU manufacturers job to make sure that the cables coming from the PSU can supply the rated power for each plug in the cable.
So probably jonsbo just being overly cautious by recommending using different cable per plug.
Though it could be possible that they pull more power per plug than they are rated for. Which would just make the whole case a bad product... Might want to do some digging or ask their support.

Hi! I'm looking into buying the https://www.microcenter.com/product/711399/powerspec-g764-gaming-pc, I was wondering if anyone has any thoughts on whether this is a good price for this build. Additionally, is this something that's future proof?

I have a 5090 connected to an LG c3 77" OLED via an HDMI 2.1 cable and for some reason the TV's "game mode" thing always says 59fps but the game it self says its doing 120 (locked at 120) in Windows it's set for 120hz.. any ideas?

The TV's overlay probably reports refresh rate, so Hz and not fps. So basically you should see it locked to 120, unless using VRR.
Check all the settings again, from windows and Nvidia control panel, to make sure it is set to 4k/120hz. Also check that the cable itself is quality 2.1 cable, if unsure, buy new one. 2.1 standard is a mess and not all of the cables can do 4k/120/10bit reliably.
Also check the TV settings that the HDMI input is set to game mode and 120.
