The card will fit into the motherboard. Manufacturers carefully measure the height of their motherboard heatsinks to make sure they don't interfere with any add-on cards. Also I would find it hilarious if a Gigabyte board got into the way of a Gigabyte card.

Can you just tell me the model name of the case? That site is set up oddly as it does not have dedicated links for their products.

You might have to get a bigger case as that case is only 450mm long and the R9 280X is 385mm long. Now while it's still shorter than the case it probably won't fit due to the hard drive bays being in the way of the card. Or you could choose a shorter card. The Sapphire R9 285 ITX edition card isn't that much weaker than the 280X but will definitely fit in your case.

are you sure it is 385 mm long ? because in gigabyte website it is just 285 mm long
