4 gtx 680s = 2100$?

The cpu mb and ram = another 1100$?

I do not see anything anywhere near 15k.. More like 5500 after water cooling...

Look into evga gfx cards they have water cooled ones that would look way better than putting a block on them and some come with leds and it can cost much less.
You said that it would be coding in witch case you should concentrate on the processor

Case: Rosewill BLACKHAWK-ULTRA Gaming Super Tower Computer Case

With $6000 I think you should go with Caselabs or danger den, or some other awesome custom design.

Motherbored: ASRock X79 Extreme11

From what I hear, this is about the same for half the price, and with a passively cooled chipset:

Processer: Intel Core i7-3930K Sandy Bridge-E 3.2GHz

That's the best you can get, unless you want to go with a Xeon for some reason

Cooler: H100 or... thinking about a custom water cooling loop use Arctic Silver 5 with both
(i have never done one before but would very much like to do it but im not sure exactly how much it would change the temps is a custom loop that much cooler? and plus the BA factor of it looking amazing)

lol don't buy an H100, go for a custom loop; it's not that hard. They are way more efficient in cooling than an H100. Look up Singularity Computers videos on youtube for watercooling adivce.
Personally, I would recommend a MIPS Iceforce CPU block, a FrozenQ tube reservoir, and MCP655 pump.

Ram: 2x CORSAIR Vengeance 32GB (4 x 8GB) DDR3 1866 Desktop Memory

Everyone seems to love this RAM; it OCs like a boss or something:
http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820147096&name=Desktop-Memory

Graphics: 3x EVGA GeForce GTX 680 FTW Standard, w/Backplate 4GB

7970s are better for a lower price, IMO

SSD: 2x OCZ Vertex 4 VTX4-25SAT3-256G 2.5" 256GB SATA III

The Plextor M5P is the best SSD currently IMP

Storage: 3x Seagate Barracuda 3TB 7200 RPM SATA 6.0Gb

Those are good. If you are planning to go for a RAID setup at any point, you should go for WD reds.

Power: CORSAIR AX1200i 1200W

That is complete overkill, but still awesome.

Monitor: 2x Acer G236HLBbd Black 23" 5ms Widescreen LED Monitor

I would see if you can find a good IPS monitor, or a good fast response time TN panel, if you are going to be gaming. Cheap TN panels have poor color and viewing angle.

You could also go for a 27" 1440p monitor.

Anything outside of massive editing? And coding ??

Also switch 810 from nzxt is the best for water cooling

Far from it.. that is a Budget case this guy has a 6k budget not a 1500$ budget.

This is the water coolers Dream machine..

Yeah OK, I was exaggerating a bit, but my point was $2100 out of $5800 on the GPUs alone, leaving $3700 for everything else, including all the rest of the water loop. Which probably means about $3000 for case, PSU motherboard, RAM, storage, monitors and software. It's just not proportionate to the budget - I think if he had 10k that would be worth doing (if that kind of GPU performance is needed), but with less than 6k it's not.
