Are these cases limited to the size of the PSU that it will take. I currently have a 750w unit that is longer that most ATX models.

No pun intended but it would be on a case by case basis. You'd have to look at photos and determine if there is room. Some of the box style mount the power supply up top with optical drive in front. This style would be no go most likely.

See above. Try to find a review for the case you are interested in to see how the PSU is mounted and what is to the right of it.

Some can fit that PSU, but not all. List a few mATX cases which you are interested in and someone might be able to verify.

is your psu 160 mm deep instead of the normal 150 mm? i have a couple like that, plus another half inch for modular connectors. it shouldn't be a problem in most tower boxes.

So what cases are you looking at, or are you asking us to suggest a case for you?

If you want us to suggest it, what is your budget?

I have found a way to make room in my cabinet so I will stay with my current case. Thanks
