It probably will fit in the Centurion, you it looks like you're going to have it in an Up-Down orientation instead of Left-Right because the PSU will be in the way.

Most cases I've seen with the Megahalems oriented in Left-Right are fulltower cases such as the CM HAF 932. Even in my own case, the CM Storm Scout, I had to go with a Xigmatek Dark Knight instead of the TRUE or Megahalems because those heatsinks cannot be oriented in left-right due to the top exhaust fan.

Cases to look would be Antec 300, 900 or 1200, CM 690, HaF 932 or 922, CM Storm Sniper or Scout, NXZT Tempest. Now if want a real highend case look at Lian Li cases or Siverstone case. Cant help with the gtx 275 card fitting someone else will have to help you with that.
