How do I pick one from all the Sapphire, XFX, BFG, ASUS, etc. etc.

that I can stick Waterblocks onto.. does it need to be a "reference" design card ?

Going to cost me a fortune so I need to be sure I buy the right cards,

This is going to make me

One for sure way to tell a reference card is an AMD logo printed on the PCB just above the PCIe, also a reference cooler is another way but not a guarantee.

These are all reference cards (provided they ship the same card as in the picture).
