That psu is listed at 7.1 inches long, which is about 180mm (psu lengths tend to be in increments of 20mm), and 180mm is the limit specified for that case, so you should be fine in terms of fitting physically. However, Rosewill psus, other than a few Capstone and Hive series, don't have a good reputation (see the Eggxpert Tiered Power Supply List), and why do you need a 1000W psu?

It is only a hair longer than my Corsair 850HX. This is above the recommended size for a modular power supply. as long as the plugs are not too deep it should make it.

Tight, but fits as long as the modular cables can bend almost right away. If they do not bend right away, you are best to stick to 160mm(6.3 inch deep) power supplies.

I want a 1000w psu to future proof. Either by using sli or in case i need the power supply for another computer. Do either of you have a link to a good 1000w psu that would fit? Preferably gold or platinum plus?

A good 850 watt psu will run nearly any two-way sli/cf setup you can put together (three-way or more tends to have poor performance scaling). I suggest you consider getting a Seasonic X-850 instead.
