Well, i'm no expert but judging from the pictures the holes for the power supply i think would line up if you just take the enermax powersupply and visually flip it upside down it looks like the holes to mount it will be lined up correctly.

You could also take a ruler an measure the placement of the screws and compare to the powersupply you want to purchase.

Also, i bet your mobo accepts a 20 pin so i would check that the powersupply you has 20/24 pin adaptability
