That's a high quality power supply if it's a Rosewill Capstone 550 80 Plus Gold or a Rosewill Capstone 550-M 80 Plus Gold.
Both made by Super Flower.

Actually it's a 550 watt. PCPartPicker doesn't have a problem with the wattage. Maybe you had a better CPU, more harddrives maybe? (not sure how much of a difference that makes)
I definitely would if I knew anyone with this knowledge.
Oh, I was talking about the wattage.
A 3 mm overage I assume wouldn't make it non-compatible. If you say it would, I will believe you though. Are these things that strict that you can't go over by a millimeter? EDIT: So I did find this article that says with careful wire routing you are able to fit a 163mm PSU:
A quick look at BitFenix's Prodigy enclosure - The Tech Report - Page 2
For the GPU, it says it supports the video card, just that some drive bays may not be usable. (That message comes up with the 7970 too.)The PSU bay is tight, with barely enough clearance for the Rosewill Fortress 550W units packed into our rigs. We had to route cables carefully just to get that PSU into the chassis. Admittedly, we're exceeding the maximum size by a smidgen. Our units are 6.4" (163 mm) long; the official FAQ recommends using PSUs no longer than 5.9" (150 mm), and it identifies the maximum length as 6.3" (160 mm). You're better off sticking with shorter ATX units to avoid the hassle.
Happily, thanks to the Prodigy's width, there's plenty of room for excess cabling on either side of the PSU. The motherboard tray and second internal wall are perforated with routing holes, making it easy to lace a relatively clean layout with only the zip-ties included in the box. I also like that the power supply sits on fat rubber bumpers to dampen vibration. The reversible back plate is a nice touch, too, especially given the filtered grill in the bottom panel.
As for the H100, it just says it is unable to verify, not that it is surely non-compatible. There are builds of the Bitfenix Prodigy with the H100, so I assume it is compatible.
Here are pictures of it:
Thank you all for your great replies, you've already helped me so much!
Dang I think I had an ice chest that looked like that :)
If you like buy it
Just remember there's no refunds on CL and since most of the items are in his name returns if issues happen are complicated just a tad bit.
If you buy that on Criags List I have 100 acres of desert in Arizona and 50 acres of swampland in Florida to build a house for your PC to live in.
I would not touch that with a bargepole.
Pull the trigger and buy it if you see anything worth 700.00
I'd be more optimistic if the dude said he was hard up for money....... then I'm in the hobby of loosing money for no real reason :/
