Would you class £368 as 'a bit' over £300? Those referenced cooled 290s are hot and loud; this one will be cool and quiet:

YOUR BASKET
1 x MSI Radeon R9 290 Gaming Edition 4096MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card £367.99
Total : £377.59 (includes shipping : £8.00).

What PSU do you have?

What about the case? can it take a large GFX card?

Yeah, dont get the reference cards. Pay a bit more and you get a cooler and faster variant.

The gigabyte windforce r9 290 and sapphire r9 290 tri-x are other options.

The gigabyte and the MSI one posted above are cheapest that OCUK provides.

Bare in mind that cards with triple fans are normally very long. Can be over 28cm. Im getting the Sapphire 290 tri-x and thats around 30cm long. If you want the gigabyte windforce, make sure you google and dimensions of the card and then see if it will fit into your case. I assume the asus one would be shorter but i dont know.
