The title says it all, I want to buy an 160mm long Modular Seasonic PSU, but will that limit the GPU size? I removed the hard-disk tray, here in Romania SFX PSU's are expensive as hell, and there are no SFX-L PSU's, too.

I've been considering an used ENERMAX REVOLUTION SFX; but I've heard that it is quite loud because of the 80MM fan.

Thanks in advance.

I think you are ok.
Read this review of the case for more insight.

The case is set up for a standard ATX psu.
Because the psu is mounted vertically, the length is not that important.
I like the Seasonic psu's. I might suggest the new Seasonic focus units which are only 140mm long.
All ATX units will be 86mm high and 150mm wide. The depth varies from 140mm to 180mm and beyond.
The review indicates that up to 240mm may be ok for a graphics card.
Read that part carefully if you need that much room.
I don't think size of PSU matter, it support atx psu.

Raijintek Metis Plus limit to 170mm VGA according to raijintek.

What video card are you after?
Gigabyte have few video card with 169mm long

If I remove the Hard-disk tray I can fit GPU's up to 266mm. I saw an video on ze internet, from Andydjangoo.

He put an Zotac GTX 1070 FE in there, that card is almost as big as the case itself.

If I want to use an HDD I can get an 1TB 7200RPM Laptop Hard-Disk.

Also, I want to put in an GIGABYTE AORUS RX 580 (Smaller version)
