I have the almost exact same case and can tell you that any ATX PSU can fit in

And if it didn't, OP could just put the PSU outside :D

I have fans outside my case. Want to know where I stuck the third AIO? LOL

Dammit I wanted to do exactly that xD But on top wanted to cut the top panel because it only has room for a 120mm and I want a 240mm in there.

 

I mostly just want to abuse the shit out of my poor case.
