Don't use that gpu cooler as it works dreadfully on AMD gpu's and also I would put a 970 in that build simply for the smaller heat output from the card.

CPU cooler should fit perfectly fine

here's a H100 installed in a 250D

[Louis Lerner]

That was a quick reply,

which 970 should i get 

there is a palitt one which is the same price as the 290x

The 290X has a pretty good price to performance ratio. But the 970 will produce much less heat.

If you can wait one week than AMD will release the 3xx serie and this will potentially lower the price of the older AMD cards and porbably the price of the Nvidia cards as well a bit.

[Louis Lerner]

I will definetly be waiting about a month so will the nvidia 9xx cards be dropping in price?

My crystal ball says no, but we never kow.

It's much more likely you find a good on a saleout of the 2xx series or cheap used ones, since a lot of people are switching to the new model and sell the old once cheap.

[Louis Lerner]

raw performance wise should i go with a 290x or a 970

The GTX 970 is a bit better, but you find games it will be outperformed by the 290X.

which 290x card should i get ( Cooler Wise)

[Louis Lerner]

would a Be Quiet! Dark Rock 3 cooler fit this case
