The Right Fork ?

Okay I got 4days before this ebay bid ends and I want to make sure this is the right fork .
My frame's headtube is 5"(about 150mm) and the new fork I want to buy has 12 1/2"(about 320mm) .

My question pretty much is . .
Is this the right fork length ?
If it isn't can I machine cut it (it's threadless) ?
Will the length of the fork before (if) I machine cut it affect my frame's geometry ?
