Hi, I am looking to use a fully modular power supply for my prusa i3 to reduce cable clutter but I'm not sure how to know if a certain supply will work. Does the following supply look ok?

Yes that supply will work although very likely overkill.

If you want clean wiring, just remove the cover of the power supply, clip the unneeded wires, electrical tape the ends if you didnt clip them right at the circuitboard, and put the cover back on. Use the money you saved to go buy a drink for a job well done.

That psu looks very good for ATX, it can put out up to 430w @ 12v peak. It seems like a good product. It should work quite nicely as long as it does not exhibit rail droop.

I used a less expensive Corsair modular PSU to power my Ormerod for a while and it worked very well. It was a CX430M.
