Will my GPU fit my case?

I currently have an NZXT source 210. I am looking for a 970 and i was interested in the wind-force G1 gaming, but i am concerned on it fitting. I have already removed the hard drive cages, but I also have a h100 installed in the front. The clearance of the NZXT source 210 w/o the cages is supposedly 330mm. The wind-force 970 is listed as 312mm, but a few of the reviews stated it was actually sub-300mm. The wind-force is reviewed as the quietest while still keeping low temps(I don't like the whole fans on and off). If it will not fit, do any of you have any suggestions on what I can get instead?
 


Looking it up, its exactly 57mm, so take that from the 330mm clearance I used to have and I have 273mm clearance. So, not enough for the wind-force, and (at 10.748in) most 970s. Leaving me with stock or ACX. Obviously I'll go for the ACX, so do you have any suggestions on things such as the SC vs SSC vs SSClk vs Stock? The only thing I'd like to have to have to change on my 970 is turning off the fan-off feature and leave the rest the GPU boost.
