Not sure if this PSU will fit in my case?

Well on the description for my case, it says that it will fit a standard ATX PSU. This power supply I have been looking at, says ATX12V version 2.3 compliant, what's the difference, will it still fit?

One is ATX, the other is ATX.

What the ATX12V version 2.3 means is the standards which the 12v supply on the PSU meets. It has nothing to do with shape.

Ok thanks, that's saved me a lot of hassle!

If you are looking at some silly high watt PSU, some are longer than normal.

but they're not likely to be longer than a motherboard is wide
