Will this PSU fit in this case with no problem?

The case I have is this
-Thermaltake Commander GS-III
However, I am a lil' bit concerned because it's supports a "Standard PS2 PSU" and I think that my PSUs are ATX (?). These are the PSUs I want to buy:
-Cooler Master G650M 650W
-Corsair CX Series 600M Builder 600W
By the way, does anyone know which one of them is better?

Ha, good to know that it can support them. Well, my budget is limited (1000€) and parts are slightly more expensive in my country. Btw, this is my build (if anyone has any feedback it would be appreciated):

-Previously mentioned PSU and case, plus:
-Intel Core i5-4590
-Western Digital 1TB Caviar Blue SATA III
-Gigabyte Radeon R9 270X 2GB
-Kingston 8GB HyperX Fury Black 1600MHz CL10 (Kit of 2)
-Gigabyte Z87-HD3

Great CPU, GPU, HDD. RAM could be better at lower CAS latency, and I believe that's 1.65v RAM, but could be wrong.

The Z87 board isn't necessary, as your CPU is locked. Save some money and get an H97 board. The ASRock H97 Pro4 is a great price/performance motherboard.

Also, if they are available, look for XFX, SeaSonic, Antec power supplies. They will give you more reliability, though a locked i5 and 270x won't really put much stress on a 600w power supply anyway.

Hi teowolf
Your case will support standard ATX PSU's
The two power supplys you suggest are poor quality with low grade capacitors
Poor quality capacitors break down quickly over time resulting in spiky voltage being delivered to the motherboard. This results in motherboard breakdown or poor cpu performance.
I would suggest you buy a quality PSU with high grade japanese capacitors from
seasonic / xfx or any psu from corsairs TX ,HX or AX range or coolermasters V series or a psu from EVGA's new supernova series
for your rig i would suggest

Hey guys, thanks for the feedback. I can see that I need a better PSU, so I found this:
-Corsair RM Series RM650 650W... Any opinions? (sadly, most of the alternatives you presented are not available for me)

As for the RAM, I couldn't find a CL-9 (it is 1.5v though). Gosh, didn't know that PSU were actually THAT important :/...

The power supply is THE most important piece in a mid-range or higher system. Low-grade PSUs can die easily, and take out your entire system with it. Paying 10-25% more for a good quality PSU is great insurance, and will give you less headache and worry in the long run. A LOT of the problems we see on here with systems acting weird, or not working are caused by poor quality power supplies.

I live in Greece and Corsair and Cooler Master PSUs are the most popular here :)/)... I also found this "Coolermaster V650S 650W", which is like 110$ (I initially anticipated to spend like 60 or 70 on a PSU...). I really have no idea of how you guys find out which PSUs are good or bad so easily :)
