Looking at the case, it appears to use a standard ATX power supply. Brand should not matter as far as fitting, but what you want to look for is one that has fans on the front or back. Fans on the top or bottom will blow directly into the metal of the case and not cool properly. I have always like the Antec PSUs, but feel free to look around. Secondly I can say be extra careful with the Rosewill case. They metal they use is very cheap and you may have grounding issues.

If you can spend a little more money, I would get some better components. The server will last longer and you will have less trouble out of it in the long run. You also need to pay attention to things like the RAM slots on the motherboard. Desktop motherboards the ram slots are perpendicular to the fans, so you get terrible cooling. Which means you will need extra fans to keep the server cool I am going to price everything at Newegg since you are comfortable there, but you can shop and find them cheaper Chassis: iStarUSA D-200-PFS ($100) Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-B250M-DS3H Micro ATX LGA1151 ($70) RAM: Kingston KVR16LN11K2/16 ($110) Hard Drive: Samsung 850 Evo 250GB SSD ($95) PSU: Antec EarthWatts Green EA-380D ($50) CPU: Already Have. All this comes to around $425 + S&H. You may notice the PSU is only 380W but that is honestly all you need based on the hardware you are running. I have run a very similar setup for clients in their offices as desktop machines and everything has worked great for a long time. This will give you a very strong system for years to come for not much more if you shop the parts around.
