Yep it would run just fine. But you won't be able to oc as far as others due to limited watts leftover.

Yep your Corsair PSU should handle it well. I do see your running 2 HDD's, 1 DVD drive, and your CPU at stock as long as your not running 12 case fans and 5 lights your should be smooth.

Yep it's very big. I had to trim a little of the back of my case to fit it. 3D Aurora should fit it assuming it's a full tower. But you might need to do some mods.
