Put a waterblock on my gpu, turned on msi afterburner to check the temps, it was nice at 26 degrees celsius so i decided to do a benchmark. After a while the whole screen went black and when the computer booted up, the screen was fuzzy with pixels everywhere. I checked on the gpu and it was blazing hot throughout the whole card except for the actual gpu where my waterblock was fitted on. Does this mean i just fried my geforce gtx 780 ti???!

That's a pretty typical symptom of a dead card. What kind of water block did you put on it? If it's one that covers only the GPU ASIC itself and not the GDDR5 and VRMs then some of the heat generating components will have been left uncooled.
oh mah gawd.... its brand new too.... So i guess i just blew a thousand bucks. The block only covered the gpu and the rest was left open with no cooling
Oh boy.
Fortunately the GPU ASIC is the expensive part, so you may be able to send it in for a repair.
