The specs on the thermaltake website say that the case will support a full ATX power supply. I'd seriously consider a modular PSU for that size of case, though - hiding unused cables will be nigh on impossible.

A quality 500w modular power supply:

...or this Enermax, same price as the Antec after rebate:

These have two PCI-E connectors, but if you only need one, thats all you connect to the unit itself.
