So I have just bought a Sapphire R9 290 Stock, the stock cooler isn't exactly quiet. I am looking to replace it with either a liquid cooler or air cooler. But i need a easy one to install. Links much appreciated! I also have a Corsair H100i installed on the top, so it all needs to fit.

A liquid cooler would be the best option. Since there arent any coolers specifically made for this card, I reccomend the kraken g10 and the corsair h55, or similar aio liquid cooler. The kraken provides mounting hardware for the liquid cooler to mount to the card. It should keep your 290 frosty.
