Honestly to save money, i'd just buy one of the better aftermarket ones, or go with a reference 780ti and add a waterblock yourself (you will save a lot of money)

leave the acx cooler on, as you won't be reaching anywhere close to max temps unless you are putting it in a box with no air holes lol. the classified one is primarily just factory clocked higher, and you could easily overclock it to the same level if you chose to. Card marketing is kinda broken this way, as overclockers can generally get the cheaper card and overclock to roughly the same level (max overclock would likely be lower of course vs the more expensive one). but you get the point right? it's mostly a money grab for people who don't like to overclock, whereas after overclocking the cards become much closer in performance

no. if you want to add a waterblock you buy just a reference design 780 , otherwise you are wasting money on the acx cooler

you do need to remove the stock air cooler to put on a waterblock. just in case that wasnt clear.

so it wont matter what cooler comes on the card because you will literally just throw that in a box and it won't ever even be inside your pc if you are trying to watercool it

I suggest the copper block over the nickel plated as it is zero coolant issues.

+1 for the suggested block, but it appears to me that OP may not be quite experience enough to do a full water loop just yet (hopefully extensive youtube tutorials are watched)
