Okay, first of all, this in an M-ITX case. You seem to have caught somewhat up on this

The BitFenix Prodigy doesn't have much room for a PSU. Choose a PSU that in max. 14cm long, and pref. modular.
The heatsink you have chosen is (as far as i can tell) not compatible with your CPU socket. You need to find one that fits on a 1155 socket.

EDIT: Just looked up the heatsink, and it is compatible with your socket

Thanks alot for your help, it says their is room for a 160mm long PSU in the case. The one i chose is 160.02mm long so I think it'll be ok just maybe a little extra tight. The PSU has been the hardest thing to find for this case so if you know of a better one thatll work for around $100 that'd be awesome.

I have also been looking at that case before, and it is true it says 16cm will fit. But with a 16 cm PSU, the cables in it will only fit if you have the ability to do a little custom modding of your own.

Ahh didn't even think about the cables on the PSU, thanks I'll keep looking and see if I can find one that will be a better fit.

Just FYI: 650W is way more than that system needs. 400W should do. Maybe you can even look for a fanless PSU, like those that Seasonic make.

Good luck

You could make do with 400W, but I don't see 650W as overkill; not even close to it. I'd go with 650W to be safe. And it'd be against my better judgement to buy a PSU without a fan.
