I am building a new computer and I got confused while picking a graphics card for it.

I am getting this case: Click

I know it has to be low profile, however the case is only 100mm in width and every graphics card I found was wider than that.

Would any of these fit?

The height of the Graphics Card is the metric that should concern you. This is because the Graphics Card will be mounted perpendicular to the orientation of the case.

Two of those cards are 4.7cm (47mm) in height, one is 4.4cm (44mm). I can't confirm if the cards will fit in that case but I'd assume they should.

Keep in mind a slimline case will limit your upgrade options, specifically in regards to the PSU, the higher power varieties of which tend to be wider. Overall I'd recommend a full-sized case to save headaches in the future, but it's your call.

Also, note that even if the card is within the height range so it would technically fit in the case, if it doesn't support a low profile bracket you will have no way to mount it. Here is a link to an article discussing low profile vs. standard gpus.
