Nor sure exactly why you are concerned as the waterblock is thinner than any air cooler or whatnot. But anyway I measured the 780 block and its roughly 16mm or so

Isn't it roughly 1 to 1,5 slot?

This part right?

 

because the 250D has a limited height for the GPU and the 780 lightning im using is already extra high

Well find out how long that block is then measure how long it is on your monitor. Find the factor you need to multiple it with to find the correct result mesure how high the part you are worried about is multiple is the factor and then you know how long it is.

G1/4 threads are 0.25" which is 0.635CM, so adding the extra - it will be like 1cm.

picture is under an angle so this doesnt work (but i could find a straight picture)

max the 250D can handle is 1.8cm with an extra high lightning card, 

 

so it looks like it will fit

Originally I measured the thickness of the block which is around 16mm. But the height of the fc link you pointed out is 25mm. I'll attach a picture to show what I mean:
