Verrrry good choice man.
Also, if you want, I can write up a quick guide for you on how to install them.

One thing before you order; how big is your computer case? It will pay to find out whether or not that video card will fit in, as it is quite big. I think it's upwards of 10 inches long.

I'm going to buy this PSU, but I wanted to make sure if it works with european voltage (230V), I have the right power cables, so should I even worry about this?

It will work with 115v or 230v. It will either have a switch or it will be an automatic change, I don't know.
Most these days have an automatic change.

From back to front it's around 15-16 inch
From top to bottom it's around 14-15 inch

Are those measurements from the outside? If you have a HDD cage or some drivebays then you will probably need a bigger case.

Color, I believe.
Also, how long ago was that? That's heavily overpriced.

First things first:
Your computer is upside down.

You will need 11.3 inches as shown in the diagram. You will also need to be able to take up 2 PCI slots as it is a dual-slot card (thick). Make sure you have the room. You will have to push things aside, like cables.
