No, it won't fit. A list of all R9 290 cards that will fit into that case: https://pcpartpicker.com/parts/video-card/?compatible_with=nzxt-case-lexs001bk#c=152

The Sapphire cards on that list use the reference cooler.

No it wont fit. I wouldn't trust PCpartpicker with every detail, these are the exact numbers:

Sapphire R9 290 Tri-X: 305mm/12" long.
