You should have a look at the guide below. It has some cases listed which may fit your needs but also addresses the fact that "standard power supply" is a pretty awkward term, as is "standard size cooler".
If you have specifics in mind for both, you can use them to narrow down your search, or I (or something else) can help you do that.
 
if you wanted to go with the microATX form factor instead of miniATX you could use something like the EDIT: i meant "cougar" spike mini tower. it accepts standard ps2 (atx sized) power supplies as well as graphic cards up to 330mm long.

while perhaps not as small as the other contenders it does support a full sized psu, long length gpu, decend sized coolers, multiple drive options AND it has pretty decent cooling considering its small-ish size.

Intel stock cooler is around 50mm high. Any case (more or less) will allow for that.

One potential word of warning would be that if you do go with a case of the kind of size of something like the Elite 120/130, I'd have some minor misgivings about putting something as hot as an R9 290 in there. The blower cooler will certainly help get rid of some of that, but it's a card that runs a good 15-20degrees or so higher than most other cards and in a confined space that might be a bigger issue.
