First of all, the power supply is overrated and more than you'll ever need with a system like this. The system itself is mediocre. Why get 2 512 MB memory sticks, when you can get a 1 GB stick now and stick in another later, if you're tight on cash.
I think the processor is horrible. The whole system can't be worth more than 1000 dollars. The system is geared towards upgrades, I can tell. But seriously, why not build your own system? For 1000 bucks you can beat this cheap system (Pentium D CPU, seriously ... that's the one that got pwned by AMD ... and 7300 LE graphics card ... no self-respecting gamer would get one) and get a much better self-built system.
The hard drive is pretty bad... SATA-II? You should get SATA 3G at least.
The liquid cooling is made by an un-heard of company. Go with at least Swiftech or Danger Den.
Okay then, in exchange for giving you all that criticism, I will now give recommendations.
PSU: OCZ Gamestream 750 W is fine.
CPU: Core 2 Duo. Period. Get a e6300 or a e6600, or if you have loads of cash, a X6700.
Case: The Stacker is somewhat good, look on newegg.com for other cases.
Liquid cooling: I dont' recommend this for beginners. You need to learn how to maintain one as well. Get air cooling, which is almost as good.
Motherboard: Get either the Asus Striker or the Evga 680i. Other motherboards are fine as well.
Memory: 2GB for gamers. Corsair, Kingston, Crucial, etc. big companies are fine.
Graphics card: at least a 7600 GT, perhaps save up money for a 8800. Then you won't have to upgrade in a year or two for Crysis.
Hard drive: Get a Seagate 7200.10 Barracuda, which is fast and fairly cheap.
Optical Drive: Look on newegg.com for reader reviews.
Operating System: Go with XP for now, but if you want to save some cash go with Vista so you won't have to upgrade.
On a final note, learn how to overclock.

This sounds like a custom computer, and if it is be expected to pay quite a hefty price.
Personally, I would pay around $1,500 to about $2,500, depeding on where you get the parts. Definatly sounds like a cool computer though!
I can work up an exact estimate if you would like. Just contact me and I can go a-scoutin' for you.
Hope I can answer your question! Feel free to contact me with your solution or any other problems/details at any time, either on Yahoo! Messenger or by email.

Well uhh.. my family builds computers so I don't know if you are trying to actually sell yours- or if you are buying one - find someone who knows their stuff- and you can get a state of the art computer for cheap as anything on www.newegg.com - buying it piece by piece, and having them put together.. MY computer is definately state of the art - ( trust me I Dont feel like explaining it all ) - better memory video card and dual processor than mentioned above and it was built for a little under $600 using newegg

It depends. Freeware will do most people, but if you're frequently going to do online banking, torrenting, and that sort of thing, I'd highly recommend getting a paid for antivirus. The highest viewed in the IT world is ESET Antivirus, which is a fantastic antivirus.

Not much.. The latest processor is the Core2Duo which is more faster, reliable and consumes less watts (Electricity).. Just check for the cheapest one of these new processors and lower even more to know your price..
I hope this helps & good luck,
