Fitting a PSU and fan in the Prodigy M

[KalebJohns]

Hey guys, I'm planning on building an mATX PC, and I'm afraid I've run into a small issue. When I originally planned this build, I had plotted out the airflow inside of the case. I was hoping to have the PSU's fan facing the front of the case, pulling in cool air, and export it out the exhaust through the bottom (the PC will be placed above a return air vent, so any hot air will not stay near the computer), as well as a 120mm fan right above the PSU pulling cool air into the case.

To better explain how I wanted this set up, I used the super sophisticated MSPaint to at least give a visual, posted here.

Now, it doesn't seem that I will be able to fit a 120mm fan right above the PSU. Can anyone confirm this? I'm planning on using the Corsair CX430M. If anyone has a PSU to suggest that would fit both, I'm all ears. I don't need more than 450 watts, and I prefer 80 Plus Bronze certification. Thanks!

any psu can fit cases like Mini-tower, mid tower,full-tower. depending on what specs you have i would recommend you a psu.

My bad, here are the specs I plan on using:

Intel Xeon E3-1230 v3
Gigabyte GA-H87M-D3H
4x4GB Corsair 1600MHz
Zotac GTX 750
CM Hyper 212 Evo
Corsair CX430M
Kingston V300 120GB SSD
1TB Seagate Barracuda HDD

I know the PSU will fit no issues, but I'm worried about fitting both this size PSU as well as a front 120mm fan on the front panel.

i would recommend a CX500 or CX600. but that psu will power fine. it would be better airflow for the psu with fans near.

it would be better airflow for the psu with fans near.

What do you mean by this..?

i mean the idea is good by putting fans close to the psu for better airflow for it.
