I have a Antec P182se case that have bottom mount PSU.
New PSU is going to be either depends on price:
Corsair 650W
Click
Or
PC Power & Cooling 610W
Click.

Do I need cable extension if I buy either PSU? I doubt that I will need cable extension but I just want to make sure.

The motherboard is either Asus P43 or Gigabyte P43. This is the link to my new parts:

All depends on how you want to rout the cables. As is they will reach there intended points but they may not reach if your trying to keep everything nice and tucked away.
 
The Corsair has a 120 mm fan that will have to be placed against the bottom of the 182 chassis or top - nowhere to pull air from in a sense. The PCP&C unit on the other hand has a fan directing exhaust to the outside from the 182. Just based on this, my recommendation would be the PCP&C.
 
I think i can flip the Corsair around so the fan can be on top. PC P&C is probably out of the picture now. Its rebate is 12 days counting weekends and I probably just pay a little more and not deal with the rebate headache.
Thanks guys. I will probably get the corsair and will get the extension later if I needed.
