I've done some research and I think that I found a suitable case for my new computer. I found a gigantic beast of a case: The IN WIN Maelstrom.

This case is huge, it has tons of functionality on the I/O panel and can house many fans. I don't care about size/lanning. Unfortunately, it's so big that there is a slight problem, the PSU is located at the bottom and I think it needs to be mounted facing down, and the location of the mobo will be too far away, so I'll need either a PSU with long cords or an extension cable.
Another problem, I'll most likely be using an i7 setup, and this case has a precut mobo mounting back plate hole that doesn't lineup quite right from what I have read. Will this screw things up or will it just require me to remove the mobo if I want to add different cooling options?
So, which would be a good 600-750w [80+ certified] PSU ( or 4/8-pin ATX PSU extender) with long enough cables, and will I be able to use an X58 mobo if the mounting holes are misaligned?
