How many HD7990 or R9280X can I fit into my Z77M-D3H? For mining purposes.

Which route should I take?

I plan to get 2x, and then another 1x, since there are four PCIe slots. The last slot I plan to use my current cheapo 6670 for normal computer use, while the 3 beasts mine for cryptocoins.

I look at the pictures though and those things are HUGE; I have no idea if they would fit.

Additionally, I'm wondering if my no-brand case would actually have enough space either.
In fact, I'm already worrying about heat issues.

I also don't know what kind of PSU I would need to run all four cards, 3 of them at 100% load 24/7.

I would kindly appreciate some input and help, thanks!
 
Looks like two. The cards in question are dual slot cards and the first one will cover the x1 slot. Then that bottom slot is a x4 slot. There is one x16 slot , the second and fourth are x4 slots and the bigger white one is a PCI slot , the two blue and smaller white one are Pci-e slots.
