It says in the case specs that the maximum height is 100mm for heatsinks. However, would it be possible to squeeze this 105mm one in? Also, I have a smaller PSU (which I guess is the limiting factor here) which might make things easier.

If not and if there are better alternatives, what would those be?

See my signature for specs...
 
bit of googling from when I built mine:

"We tested the Corsair (h50-1) and found it wanting. Don't do it if you want quiet. You're much better off with a small/lower profile heatsink. We used a Scythe Samurai ZZ, which fits, and cools 73W i3 perfectly well at 1000~1200rpm

Other heatsink alternatives -- Scythe Big Shuriken -- but a PITA to mount and not any better than the ZZ. Zipang 2, also from Scythe will just barely squeeze in, but it can probably be run w/o fan as the top case exhaust fan is quite close by -- Zipang 2 is a very good cooler."


will keep looking, (i need a new cooler too)
