So I currently have a non-tiered P.S.U. from Raidmax and it's just not adequate. I found out a couple of weeks ago from another person on here that I should never buy anything without a tier rating. Well my P.S.U. finally is showing obvious signs of degradation and I have the funds to replace (somewhat) and I have a candidate for purchasing but I don't understand the dimension limitations.

Current PSU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817152035&cm_re=raidmax_power_supply-_-17-152-035-_-Product
The dimensions for the current PSU are (6.5" x 3.5" x 6") and the one I want is (5.51" x 5.9" x 3.39")
There are so many factors that I need to take into account when purchasing this thing, modular, wattage, dimensions, Voltage, etc.
I know what I need for wattage I just don't understand the dimensions, i don't know if there is any room for error. Is the tower like a set size and then anything can fit with the right screws and as long as it is less that the size of the tower? I just don't know and I don't want to impulse buy and have to go through the ordeal of returning and waiting even longer.
If you need anymore information about my PC just ask, I am at a loss and desperately need guidance.
