The NZXT can take a cpu cooler up to 170mm according to NZXT website. The Alpenfohn cooler is listed as 165mm so you should be fine.

If you want the GTX 970 then I would go with the Zotac as you get a better warranty of 5 years after you register it.

• 1 x Zotac GeForce GTX 970 AMP! Omega Core Edition 4096MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card (ZT-90106-10P)= £259.99
