Was it a bad idea? Don't think so. I don't think it was a particularly good one either.

I have a EVGA 780 ti reference, even when i had the option to buy the ACX option, I have no regrets, especially

with that beautiful looking cooler, and it runs very cool as well to begin with, even with OC i don['t get above 76C
so, all in all, you should be pretty happy with it

I dont think there is much of a difference between reference and non reference cards. I would look at the actual engineering put into non reference card's pcb. You can always swap out the reference coolers with a after market cooler.

I'm getting the Windforce edition soon which might cool slightly better but the reference cooler looks awesome.
