PSU:
depends on the case. A lot of the mini-Towers and desktop style cases only support microATX PSUs.
Air Flow:
Generally not a problem. You don't generally get the 'extra' you might find in mid-full tower cases that can be helpful in overclocking and other applications (dual CPU / SLI) where you're dumping tremendous amounts of heat into the case.

can i put any fullsized power supply i want in that? im worried about the shitty aspire one that comes with the case. and what can i do about cooling i know it will be hotter and it only has 1 fan. although its 120mm thats good for more air flow but its also louder. what can i do to keep this case cool and quiet. + the psu issue

According to Aspire's page that's a full ATX PSU. You can buy a standard PSU and put it in there.
If you're really worried about fan noise. Those will all push a decent amount of air, and be just about silent.
