I'm concerned about drivers working and if they fit in the case.

Impossible to say as i can't see the case from here...
Their online specs ain't real good...i would take physical measurements.

As patio said, you have to measure but they should work fine.  All I would say would be to get a better PSU.  500w should be plenty but Apevia is a cheap, generic brand so quality won't be great which is very important in a PSU.  I suggest you look at brands like Corsair or Seasonic as they make very good PSUs.

I heartily second this.  Do NOT buy an Apevia PSU, please.
