The Corsair PSU will fit in the Thermaltake case just fine.


Any ATX PSU will fit in that case. But the Corsair is a very good choice. Stick with it.

Power supplies follow certain form factor standards which dictate their size, mounting requirements and power distribution. ATX and ATX 2.0 power supplies follow the same basic exterior dimensions and mounting hole patterns, but some higher powered ATX power supplies will have slightly deeper dimensions.

But as minsonngo indictated, that Corsair PSU will fit in that Thermaltake case.

You may have read some recent posts about power supplies being too long or deep for some cases. Those are very specific situations. There are some new case designs with the PSU located on the bottom of the case. That can be a little tight sometimes, but isn't an issue with your case at all.
