Okay, so I have been building and changing my computer for about a year now.
I used to have this case, and psu, and well... here was my old pc's part picker page...
http://
I never used standoffs, I never knew what they were, and I never needed them.
I hated my mobo though, so I upgraded to a newer one, and a new CPU with it. Pc Part Picker:
http://
As you can see, I needed a new PSU, so I got that one off of amazon:
http://
Now, my computer wouldn't work in case. It would either run for a few minutes and shut off, or not work, or turn on for a second, then off... it was weird. I wasn't using stand offs, but my mobo had that protection and it saved me from my stupidity. I later got a few standoffs, and the same result, I don't know what was up with that... I might not have used all the standoffs, but I highly doubt it mattered. So I decided to just get a new case to see if that might fix the problem. Enter said case:
http://
My PSU (The corsair one that I had linked a bit ago) did not fit in this case...
For the past few months now, I have been using an out of case build. I basically put my components on the side of the Thermaltake case, while I prop my old case on it's side, and use the power buttons from that. It's a mess, and I really want to fix this.
So I need some answers.
1. I need a case that fits my Corsair Psu, it has to fit all my components, maybe a side window... I dunno. As long as it works for my parts, and is under or around that $60-$70 range, I am good.
2. Will I need standoffs for said case in (1)? If so, which kind?
3. I am going to be getting an SSD, will my PSU support that SSD? Possible SSD's:

4. Is there anything else I should do? (In addition to whatever I need to do to get my computer working in a case).
