I see. So no size difference? IF SO CORSAIR!!!!!!!!

The 750TX is 160mm long (3.4" Height x 5.9" Width x 6.3" Depth).
The 650TX is 140mm long (3.4" Height x 5.9" Width x 5.5" Depth).
The ST50EF-SC is the same size as the 650TX, and there's a Newegg reviewer using it with that case.

In conclusion, the 650TX is guaranteed to fit. The 750TX might not fit because it's 0.8" longer. It might fit, I don't know.

If you don't really need 750W you might as well play it safe and save some cash too and get the 650TX.

If you do actually need 750W, get a bigger case with better cooling.
